About Freedom Quest
Every page of this novel is drawn from a true love story—the letters they wrote, the miles they crossed, and the memories they refused to forget. In 1965, a chance meeting between two young artists leads to a romance spanning over fifty years. The music scene is exploding with the new sounds of rock ‘n roll while the Vietnam War is raging. Torn apart by outside forces of deception and betrayal, Michael and Grace lose track of each other and over time, lose hope of ever reuniting. Can two star-crossed lovers torn apart by the tumultuous period of free love, psychedelics and the Vietnam War find each other again?
