About the Book:

‘Everything I thought I knew has changed. I feel like I ‘m at sea looking for a rock to cling to, only to find it’s just a whale or a turtle’

Four guys

Two generations

Tangled relationships

And music

A roller-coaster ride…

When Greg is attacked outside a nightclub in Brighton he is reunited with Stef, his best mate from school.

When Eddie flies to Canada on an ‘errand of mercy’, little does he realise that his life will never be the same again.

But life is rarely simple and all four will experience heartbreak before happiness.

About the Authors:

Misty GardnerMisty Gardner has had a varied career,most recently as a historian and previously as a lawyer, but from an early age has had a passionate interest in music, from the Merseybeat sound down to the present day. Misty’s current ‘obsession’ is with the country/folk/rock sounds that came out of California in the 1970s and which will feature in their latest novel, provisionally-titled ‘Love Hurts’, due out in late 2025. Misty has previously published a four-part saga [The Misty Blue quartet] featuring broadly the same story told from four differing perspectives, and also ‘Walk Right Back’ – all set in the world of rock music. As well as playing guitar in various bands in the 1980s, Misty has also appeared on stage in numerous roles over a long period. Other than music, their main interests are 17th century history, dogs and horses.
