"Having finished this wonderful book this morning, I feel kind of let down since I lived with Maxie and Tommo for the past few days and hated to say goodbye to them when I reached the last page. It was such an absorbing read…The book brought me back to the 1970's and I relived the era. The war, the pill, free love and the drug culture changed all who lived through that period." - Laurie Halliday"I had to read it at one sitting because it was such a gripping narrative. There were many subtleties and the ending was surprising and satisfying." - Christine DobbieLook out for Adrienne's second novel, Mother of the Bride, published in print last year and coming to Kindle soon.
