I was a young woman when I first saw this I loved it. I loved the sixties I wish I had been grown up and on my own. Or living by myself. These women were all so different but alike in ways, looking for meaningful relationships, careers and most of all love. Kate everso independent journalist. Jenny, impassioned with civil rights married to a known civil rights advocate zany leader. Tania the quiet lady living in the sophisticated art world. They all find love but none of it turns out to be what they thought it should be. All living through turbulent history of the sixties. Kate who never lies on her stories except to save face with Jenny and her husband only to ruin a politician who really wasn't so bad. Tania leaves her sculpture lover because deep down he doesn't really need her. Kate marries an actor keeps her journalism alive. They have a falling out and she makes a brash decision. Through the series all three women maintain a friendship with Rob a man they met at Berkley. He's a Korean War veteran making his way back to life. I thought he was the coolest charachter in the show level headed,, non judgemental. They all end up at a commune in the early seventies, at robs ranch. They have lots of work to do helping on a ranch. Jenny came out earlier makes a decision to be a doctor divorced joe and raises their son. At the end Rob dies after putting off surgery.

They all gather at the end and make peace with their past and move on to the future.

I experienced the sixties mostly through the music and the news. I formed some radical opinions myself!

A television mini-series about women in the sixties.

Moderately interesting mini-series based on the best seller of the same name. A tale of three women in the '60's, the mini-series is perhaps best remembered for the network accidently showing the series out of order. The public did notice so we can safely assume the story was holding everyone's attention. Season Hubley at her loveliest.

Actually, I loved the book and have written to the author, Sara Davidson. She wrote me back...very sweet. I remember seeing this movie on TV in 1978 for about an hour. Because I enjoyed the book a great deal, I was interested in the show. I would love to see the entire miniseries. Any ideas how this might be possible? I do remember that Christina Rains was in the movie and she was wonderful as the lead character. She was well cast in that role and totally matched the character from the book. I don't recall much else but am very interested in hearing what others remember. Sara Davidson did let me know that she was not too happy with the way the miniseries came off. I was much younger then, so I don't know what I would think now. Still want to find a copy. Probably on Beta! I am open for suggestions. Thank you, Ogam
