In this fourth volume of our adventure, the journals recount Holly settling into New York City in December of 1975. After returning from a visit to her family in Ohio for Christmas she wrestles with memories of childhood trauma & inexplicable hallucinations. Her deep-rooted feelings of isolation stemming from being an outsider in her own family are what drive her to continue to search for a meaningful & lasting romantic connection. Hanging out in the Kettle of Fish on MacDougal on the Wednesday bluegrass night lead her to meet Gene, the man who would bring her into a world of Greenwich Village folklore. An acid trip with the full moon glistening between the new Twin Towers, and an entire block of musical instrument stores are typical of the world that opened to her in New York City, 1975.
