Soon after independent bookstore Kepler's Books and Magazines opened in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1955, it became a meeting place for counterculture figures and a hot bed of radicalism in the 1950s and '60s. This narrative biography chronicles a generation of radicalism, resistance, and idealism through the life of the store's founder, Roy Kepler.
