[DATE,
CITY] 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," stated Ms. Miner, "I wrote the book as
a love letter to my four ‘BFFs’ and to the school
that gave
us all an astonishing foundation that we were able to draw on for our
musical lives. Now, with the impending retirement of Baby Boomers and
the ongoing fascination with the 1960’s era, I realize just
how
timely the book will be."
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.
