The window in Dominic’s room gives him a great view of the Liverpool cemetery known as Anfield. During the course of this year, Dominic and his two best friends are going to experience a coming-of-age that they never could have predicted in their wildest imaginations.

Harrison is especially honest about drugs, McCartney remains somewhat coy. Lennon always had the image of the working-class rebel, but even in the 1960s, he often sat docile for the stupid things the Beatles were expected to be and do, while Harrison sometimes said, "I don't have to do that." The book is especially illuminating for the period of touring Britain in 1963 between their first EMI sessions and heading to the U.S. For someone who has read the Hunter Davies, Philip Norman, _Lennon Remembers_, _Apple to the Core_, _A Hard Day's Write_ and other accounts, perhaps the biggest surprise of this version is how sharp and independent George Harrison is (and was). Extensive print and broadcast interviews with Lennon are woven seamlessly into the mix, and there are contributions from some of the other players - e.g., George Martin, Neil Aspinall, Derek Taylor. This extraordinary project has been made possible because Paul McCartney, George Harrison and.

Falyn lives with a tremendous secret guilt, and she’s sure that the only way to find any sense of peace is to travel to Eakins to confront the biggest tragedy in her life. When she learns that he comes from Eakins, Illinois, she determines that it is worth the risk to get close to him. She certainly has no interest in getting involved with any of the Hot Shot firefighters who frequent the café during Colorado Spring’s wildfire season, even if they are as good-looking and charming as Taylor Maddox.īut Taylor Maddox does have one attribute that Falyn finds irresistible. The owners, wait-staff and customers of the Bucksaw serve as her adopted family, and that’s all the people Falyn needs in her life. For the past five years, she’s held down a waitressing job at the Bucksaw Café, saving every penny she makes while living in the cheap studio apartment above the restaurant, all so that she can have nothing whatsoever to do with her controlling, manipulative parents. These books are assembly-line manufactured sweets, so uniform in appearance as to be practically interchangeable.įalyn Fairchild is as fiercely independent as they come. After reading book three, Beautiful Sacrifice: A Novel (after all, there are always two Twinkies in a pack), my comparison proves spot on.
