The Goodbye-Love Generation: A Novel In Stories

By Kori Frazier Morgan

PRAISE FOR THE GOODBYE-LOVE GENERATION

"A novel of beautiful, searing stories that show us the insidious tentacles of war, and how they become part of the DNA we pass down through place and ravaged hearts."

- Rita Dragonette, Author of The Fourteenth of September

"A creative & imagistic rollercoaster [...] You will experience the heights of joy & fulfillment & the depths of sadness & failure [...] & find beauty in the flawed humanity of the characters that echoes our own experiences during & after tragedy."

-The Blue Mountain Review

Kent, Ohio, 1969: The Purple Orange is rapidly becoming one of the most popular bands in northeastern Ohio's thriving music scene. Guitarist Alex Johnson is struggling to escape his painful and abusive past through his musical ambitions, while their impulsive lead singer, Maddy Winters, is turning heads with her captivating voice and larger-than-life personality.

But when the shootings at Kent State in May, 1970 shatter the group and their expectations of stardom, they each must come to terms with how the tragedy defines their art, relationships, and politics-and how it will shape their identities in the years to come.

Set over a period of fifty years, The Goodbye-Love Generation explores the lives of its cast of interconnected characters as it examines not just the Vietnam era and its lingering effects, but the decisions we all must make for the future as we interpret the events of the past.
