Though many people today think of the Sixties as a bygone era,Boomers hold these years dear within their hearts and minds. Baby Boomers now make up a very large percentage of the US population. And, much like the generations before them, they have fascinating stories to tell. One of those stories has been released by award winning author Erica Miner. FourEver Friends, Erica Miner's latest novel tells the tale of four teenage girls set in 1960s Detroit.
"Originally,"
In FourEver Friends, Ms. Miner takes us back to an era that Baby Boomers look to with nostalgia and young adults look to with curiosity. The 60s were a time of new hope and idealism that ultimately dissolved into volatility and violence. In a specialized inner city Detroit high school, four teenage girls have established the roots of lasting friendship. Their backgrounds are different, but their passion for classical music and angst over raging hormones link them irrevocably. The girls' school is a cultural melting pot of race and ethnicity in which students are judged by their intellect and talents,
not the color of their skin or religious upbringing.
As the four friends negotiate the turbulent waters of adolescence and bond through their music performances throughout Detroit, forbidden loves and jealousies mar their closely-knit friendship. But they always remain loyal and true to each other. In the end, poised for the leap into their post-high school lives, they question their ability to maintain their closeness in future years, when increased possibilities of separation may threaten the sanctity of their group. Nonetheless, they swear lifelong loyalty as they set off on their new paths.
FourEver Friends is now available at Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble and at Erica Miner’s website.
