The Lost Bali Stories - Volume I is an entertaining collection of true tales direct from the lips of an eclectic mix of youthful vagabonds, rainbow gypsies, artists, giddy optimists, cosmic healers, and colorful misfits who unwittingly participated in an incredible cross-cultural moment in Bali between 1970 to 1985 before mass tourism changed the face of the island drastically. Written from hindsight, the stories are tinged with memories of a bygone era and testimonies to Bali's transformative powers.

About the Author
Leslie Anne Franklin was born in Newport Beach, California, and first visited Bali in 1982. During the 33 years she lived in Bali, she has witnessed social, environmental developments over time. Leslie's love for Bali includes the fervent spirituality of the Balinese and their endearing hospitality, which has remained steadfast and unchanged. Leslie founded the Facebook group "Lost Bali," which, at present, has over 28,000 active members. The group shares memories and photographs that have captured a time before 1990 before mass tourism affected the island. The collective stories and images have served as inspiration for the book. Leslie currently resides in her wood cabin in the mountain town of Big Bear, California. She is the mother of four children and four grandchildren. This is her first anthology.
