Thanksgiving Breakfast: You Can Go Home

by John Fitzgerald

You can go home again; THANKSGIVING BREAKFAST is a story about baby boomers growing up with childhood friendships that lasted over 50 years. It is a warm humorous book, which will sometimes find the reader laughing out loud or silently wiping tears. Growing up in a small town in Pennsylvania, Alex Flynn wanted to keep in contact with his high school friends as they all went on their separate ways in life. Over the years, these close friends would unite on Thanksgiving and share their successes, along with their trials and tribulations. Life doesn’t follow the path of what is planned; bad marriages, Vietnam, drugs and careers all had effects on this once young, audacious clique. However, strong friendships help weather some of life’s many dangerous storms. Childhood friendships are like no other, for that’s where the roots of strong relationships are anchored. This is a riveting story of hometown life and enduring friendships, growing up and morphing into Teenelders. If you liked the ‘The Big Chill’, you will love this book. THANKSGIVING BREAKFAST is a classic story, Happy Days, the life in a small town in the 1960’s and some wonderful characters sharing their unique experiences. It’s a story that will resonate with Baby Boomers across the country.

Loved the characters and the setting. One of the top books I read in 2016. Hated for the story to end.
