One simple song can change everything for those whose story began at a 1970 rock festival.
As the 1970s dawn in Virginia, grieving guitarist Cal Leonardowski is ready to end it all when he hears Hendrix will play at the Second Atlanta International Pop Festival. He delays the devastating thought for the rock and roll respite, and there he falls for a kindred spirit, the also-grieving, adventurous, Beatles-loving Nainsi Murphy, from County Dublin, who only wants to do what her late Ma never got: to build a music industry career in America. Yet love changes everything, as does a world exploding in the Vietnam War and the Troubles, and just as she chooses between family, country, religion, and her own dreams, Cal opens the letter of a lifetime and makes a drunken, desperate choice of his own. What becomes of the broken-hearted, a union created in peace, love, and music, but broken and reeling in the times? There's more to this story, and one song knows...
Told amid a backdrop of history and pop culture spanning the 1970s and 1980s, this coming-of-age and regrets of middle-age story of two generations-- Baby Boomers and Gen X-- offers a book club a nostalgic '70s pop and rock playlist and thoughtful reader questions. With an ode to the healing, enduring, connecting power of music, the sentimental, psychological saga YESTERDAY'S SONG explores recovery from loss, the definition of family, the necessity of love, and the nature of forgiveness and redemption.
Maybe it's never too late to find your own voice-and hear another's-- if you can just get back to the heart of it all. Sometimes, hope is right under your ears.
