Reviews

[Sarah Bradley · Rating 5 out of 5]

As a teenager, Teri Darden defies her family and falls in love with rock star Tim Olson during the Summer of Love. What follows is a non stop 30 year epic of heartbreak, hope, addiction, peace, despair, disappointment, and love. Author Ilona Fridl takes us on a breathtaking roller coaster of a book that moves forward, forward, forward, without ever losing touch with the past. I read this in one sitting. WIn!
