The fateful events of the consequential last months of 1980, how they changed music & politics, and set the tone for today's toxic climate. A story about rock and roll, murder, war, politics, the cultural divide and the current assault on democracy in America. Fall 1980...a growing distrust for government and a rejection of the counter cultural values of the 1960s bred the rise of a multi-layered conservative movement that results in Ronald Reagan winning the presidency. The coming decade would manage to alter and redefine the political landscape of America, having a direct impact on world events well into the next century. Fall 1980...former Beatle John Lennon returns to the music world after a five-year absence. With a successful new album, Double Fantasy, Lennon at the age of 40, is attempting to reconcile adulthood with his radical past. It is a celebrated comeback with high hopes for the future until he is murdered in early December. Fall 1980...31-year old rocker, Bruce Springsteen releases The River to the commercial success that will turn him from a critically-praised cult figure to a worldwide superstar. Unlike John Lennon, however, Springsteen stays out of politics and has never made his views known...until November 4, when he is so profoundly transformed by the election of Ronald Reagan, that it will serve as the dividing line pointing toward the artist he would become while informing his work for the rest of his career. The last months of 1980 were a political and artistic crossroads for three of the most influential people of modern times. In this critical exploration into a pivotal period of musical and political history, these three lives inadvertently intersect and intertwine during the last months of 1980 and beyond, in ways in which the influence is still felt today. In essence, it is where the 1960s really ends, and the 21st Century begins. Rock and roll's past, rock and roll's future and the future of America with the entire world at stake

The Light We Lost mixes with a touch of Daisy Jones and the Six in this novel of first love, passion, and the power of choice--and how we cannot escape the people we are meant to be. Two loves. Two choices. One chance to follow her dreams. Emily has come a long way since she lost her two passions fifteen years ago: music, and Rob. She's a psychologist at NYU who helps troubled college students like the one she once was. Together with her caring doctor husband, Ezra, she has a beautiful life. They're happy. They hope to start a family. But when a tragic event in Emily's present too closely echoes her past, and parts of her story that she'd hoped never to share come to light, her perfect life is suddenly upturned. Then Emily hears a song on the radio about the woman who got away. The melody and voice are hauntingly familiar. Could it be? As Emily's past passions come roaring back into her life, she'll find herself asking: Who is she meant to be? Who is she meant to love?

Fifteen-year-old Ilse Stern is waiting to meet boy-next-door Hermann Rod for their first date. She was beginning to think he'd never ask her; she's had a crush on him for as long as she can remember. But Hermann won't be able to make it tonight. What Ilse doesn't know is that Hermann is secretly working in the Resistance, helping Norwegian Jews flee the country to escape the Nazis. The work is exhausting and unpredictable, full of late nights and code words and lies to Hermann's parents, to his boss... to Ilse. And as life under German occupation becomes even more difficult, particularly for Jewish families like the Sterns, the choices made become more important by the hour: To speak up or to look away? To stay or to flee? To act now or wait one more day?In this internationally acclaimed debut, Marianne Kaurin recreates the atmosphere of secrecy and uncertainty in World War II Norway in a moving story of sorrow, chance, and first love.
