Talkin' 'bout My Generation Rachael Elizabeth Sparrow

In her novelized memoir the Author turns the idealized romanticism of the 1960's generation upside down. It's 1968. Thanksgiving. Seven college students are stranded on campus in a surprise snowstorm. Three girls and four guys. Of different backgrounds and minds---a reflection of America, from hippies to rednecks to GIs to prom queens. Conflict is inevitable. Perhaps even violence? Infatuation and love? Casual sex? Lifelong friendship? As one of the seven will suggest years later, "Hey, it was 1968. Anything was possible." ----- With an MFA in Creative Writing, the Author grew up enveloped by her grandparents' stores of their college days in the middle of the counterculture turmoil. Just twenty-seven, with this debut the Author establishes herself as a young fresh literary voice with a unique, hip, cool, retro consciousness. She lives on a seven thousand acre cattle ranch in northeast Nebraska.
