Summary
Jenny Boyd's extraordinary life is the stuff of movies and novels, a story of incredible people and places experienced at a pivotal time in the 20th century.
As an up-and-coming young model, Jenny found herself at the heart of Carnaby Street in London, immersed in the fashion and pop culture of the Swinging 60s. With boyfriend Mick Fleetwood, sister Pattie, George Harrison and the rest of the Beatles, she lived the London scene. But as a natural Flower Child, Jenny soon became part of the counter-culture in San Francisco during the Flower Power era, witnessing the Summer of Love; she was the inspiration for Donovan's famous song, Jennifer Juniper, and her photograph was featured inside the box set of his eponymous album A Gift from a Flower to a Garden.
After working in The Beatles shop, Apple, the first of its kind, Jenny attended Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's ashram in India to study meditation with her sister and the Beatles, witnessing their creativity and the genesis of songs that would later appear on the White Album.
Despite being attuned to the spiritual bloom and innocence of the '60s, Jenny also experienced first-hand the turmoil and decadence of the 70s and 80s. Her two marriages to Mick Fleetwood, founder member of Fleetwood Mac, brought her to the forefront of the world of rock and roll—and its fame, money, drugs and heartache. Struggling in the darkness to find and develop her own voice and identity, Jenny went to college, achieving a Masters in Counseling Psychology and a PhD in Humanities—her dissertation on musicians and creativity became the critically acclaimed book Musicians in Tune.
Jenny has spent her life in the company of some of the greatest musical and cultural influencers of the last 50 years—and the journey she takes to finding her own sense of self and creative ability makes Jennifer Juniper a truly captivating and inspiring story.
“The beautifully poignant story of a partner, mother, friend, and truly inspirational woman.” MICK FLEETWOOD, FLEETWOOD MAC

Courageous
I liked how courageous Jenny was to share her vulnerabilities. She didn’t “prettify” anything. Despite the abuse and repression of her childhood, she persevered and her self awareness enabled her to create a more fulfilling and enlightened life. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, Jenny

Beautiful
Such a beautiful and honest recount of Jenny’s life from fashion, wife of mick Fleetwood, addiction, parental alienation to slowly finding her way. A love story that battled through endless partying and addictions . Insightful to see how cocaine takes away empathy and sorry to say how lacking of emotion and awareness MF came across. Happy she found spiritual fulfilment and they are all in better head spaces 🙏🏼❤️

The longest few hours of my life
Amazon wouldn’t take it back so I had to listen, even on x2 speed it didn’t go quick enough. It’s read very slowly and sounds like the author is in a tunnel. Then it will be clearer, this must be the edit. Expected a more Interesting account of the time with Fleetwood Mac. If you want that listen to Mick Fleetwoods book. I found the whole thing utterly depressing.
