Barbara Williamson's top-rated book, "Free Love and The Sexual Revolution: Finding Yourself By Removing Sexual Boundaries," which showcases a joyous romp through the sexual revolution of the sixties, is now available in leading digital stores globally.Barbara, dubbed as "the most liberated woman in America," shares her life story for the first time in this impressive and special memoir.
As co-founders of the Malibu-based Sandstone Retreat, known as one of the most successful and controversial clothing-optional, open sexuality resorts in the 1960s and early 1970s, Barbara and her life partner, John Williamson, began what became known as the hub of the sexual revolution.
The clothing-optional, alternate-lifestyle Sandstone Retreat was massively popular, with membership reaching 500 and nearly 8,000 visitors.
Nestled in the wooded splendor of Topanga Canyon, California, with sweeping vistas of the Malibu Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, Sandstone Retreat was 15 acres of beauty and pleasure, a retreat from artificiality.
"It was a community where a person's mind, body, and sexuality came together in total abandonment. The dress code was total nudity, and the mindset was acceptance of all things pleasurable and sensual," says Barbara.
Prior to the modern reality television that inundated the airwaves with its media "personalities," Barbara and John were dubbed as the darlings of the press, with almost every media outlet and TV show clamoring for the couple's interviews.
The retreat, which quickly shot to prominence right after its establishment, carved out a solid space in culture as the "hub of the sexual revolution."
"John was branded as "The Messiah of Sex," and I as the most liberated woman in America. Based on mutual trust and friendship, the bond between John and me grew so strong that we were inseparable for forty-seven years until his death," says Barbara.
In fact, college professors across the country rushed to visit the new kind of unstructured free love community to witness and study the retreat members who were joyously savoring an alternate lifestyle.
Barbara Williamson was born in the Midwest on a farm in 1939. Armed with strong passion and courage, she chose an extraordinary life of love and adventure.
Those interested in getting a copy of "Free Love and The Sexual Revolution: Finding Yourself By Removing Sexual Boundaries" can purchase it at Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
Writers' Branding, a full-service self-publishing company, has been leading the pack in bringing out the book to the public, providing many authors exclusive access to publicity.
"The book gives readers a glimpse into an extraordinary life that will fascinate and entertain them," says Ruth S. Anderson in a review on Amazon.
Another review from Jonathan Dana praised the masterpiece for taking a deep dive into the world "through Barbara's eyes."
"Its particular wonderment is to see the world through Barbara's eyes, as she is transformed from a quiet farm girl to one of the iconic figures of her era. To see the great changes that came to America not as front-page news stories but as daily moments. And to see bit by bit how a person can become something new and powerful while still retaining their innate character," says Jonathan.
