"You made your bed, now lie in it, and I hope you go straight to hell..." Before Johnny could finish, he turned his back so his dad could not see his tears of rage. MeadowBrook is a picturesque town with rolling hills and meandering brooks. Weeping willows grace the streams winding through the farmland, and bands of elusive wild horses roam freely around the town's pasture lands. An unsolved missing-person case profoundly affects the citizens of this charming Canadian town. This entertaining story will resonate with any adult age group, engaging the question of whether a stereotype defines us or if we define it. Class of '78 is a nostalgic, twisting journey to a time when fashion, music, crushes and cliques shaped the characters and small-town gossip, rumours, and stereotypes influenced the relationships. In MeadowBrook, everyone knows each other's strengths, weaknesses, flaws, and secrets. The years following graduation reveal how their choices have impacted their struggles and successes. As the ten-year reunion looms, introspection and evaluation of the past become the main focus. Little do they know that reuniting will help them conquer beliefs that have held them back from realizing their self-worth and resolve the decades-long mystery of the disappearance of the town's founding father. Karen Harmon is the author of three award-winning memoirs, Looking for Normal, Where is My Happy Ending?-A Journey of No Regrets, and Fat and Beautiful-A Story of Love, Pain, and Courage. Class of '78 is Karen's fourth book and her first fiction novel.
Autorenporträt
Karen Hamon is a wife, mother, fitness instructor and special-needs teaching assistant in the city of North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. However, her more recent accomplishments would include writer and author. Her first book, an awarding winning memoir called Looking for Normal, tells the true story of her parents who both grew up in dysfunctional homes during the depression era. It deals with mental health issues, addiction and raising a healthy happy family against all odds. With over sixty reviews on Amazon, Good Reads and Indigo, the common theme is that her book is heartwarming and heartbreaking. Her second memoir, Where Is My Happy Ending? A Journey of No Regrets dates back to the 1970s, 80s, and 90s and tells the true story of Karen's struggles after leaving home at the age of seventeen. From the disco scene to becoming a single mother her story is relatable and offers insight into the healing process. Karen's storytelling ability, sense of humour and matter-of-fact way of looking at life is enjoyable, refreshing and said by many to be life-changing. Her all-encompassing mantra has always been to inspire and find the silver lining. This is evident from how she instructs fitness, to the many school-age children she has helped over the years, and comes out in both of her books. Karen's hobbies are writing (which she sets time aside for every Sunday) and cycling. She has enjoyed biking with the same friends over the past thirty years as far away as Nova Scotia, Montana and closer to her home on the west coast. With a substantial number of followers on Instagram, Karen enjoys conversing about writing, fitness and living life to the fullest.
