What was it like to live through the turbulent Sixties and revolutionary Seventies? Now, in her fourth exciting novel, Miles to Go author and retired social worker Laurel-Rain Snow tells the story of two extraordinary women whose unwavering friendship guides them through Kent State, the Vietnam War and more. These two friends believe they can change the world, but by the end of three decades, their lives take dramatic new directions, filled with tragedy, love and incredible transformation.
