Description
At thirty years' reunion, a group of old friends gather to share their stories and relive the past. Their college gymnasium dance brings together the Class of '69, each with their own tale of passion, hope, self-delusion, and yearning. As they catch up on lost time, their experiences - marked by idealism and disillusionment - come into focus. Their lives took different paths: one became an anti-war campaigner, another a quintessential all-American girl; one served in Vietnam, while another dodged the draft in Canada. Now, as they reunite, each character has a story to tell, and together they weave a portrait of a generation that grew up at a moment when America lost its innocence. This novel is a compelling exploration of the human experience, revealing the complexities and contradictions of a generation shaped by the tumultuous events of their youth.
