Synopsis

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
A Coming of Age story set during the tumultuous time
of Watergate, the Women's Movement, and the end of the Vietnam War

1974. Three friends. A perfect school year. Until one terrible night changes everything.
Kevin Donovan and Terry Sadler, AKA Butch and Sundance, are best friends planning their escape from small-town Illinois, until they meet Beverly Kaelin, the girl of their shared dreams. What begins as an unlikely trio becomes something rarer: a perfect balance of friendship and first love. But jealousy and unspoken feelings turn their graduation night into a tragic disaster.

Fifty years later, successful novelist Kevin Donovan returns to his hometown to confront the ghosts he's spent a lifetime running from, only to discover that the story he's been telling himself—about love, loyalty, and the night that destroyed everything—may not be the whole truth.

An achingly honest portrait of friendship, first love, and the stories we tell ourselves in order to survive, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is a devastating and deeply moving novel about the friendships that shape us, the losses that break us, and the long road to forgiveness.
