"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
After graduating high school in 1978, Karen Harmon went on to travel and attend college, and began a career as an aerobics instructor in the 1980s when curly perms and leg warmers were the going trends. She became involved in the disco scene and the many unsavoury characters that went with it. Karen became a single mother at the age of 32 and went back to college to obtain a degree as an Education Assistant. Karen currently works in a high school and enjoys being in a fun, busy place of learning. She is reminded daily of her own high school experiences and revels in how many social aspects have not changed, and yet how young people have evolved and grown to make for a much healthier, inclusive environment.Karen enjoys blogging about the past and has found writing to be a cathartic, life-changing and entertaining pastime. During the writing of Class of '78, all of Karen's fictitious characters developed into real people she looked forward to hanging out with every time she turned on her computer. Each personality was created from Karen's memory bank of people and experiences she encountered during the 1970s and '80s. She often stated, "Writing Class of '78 was like watching a well-loved movie or episodic series."Karen currently lives and works in North Vancouver, British Columbia, and is writing the prequel to the Class of '78. She still teaches fitness and enjoys her husband and family of three adult children.
