PARALLEL LIVES A 60's Love Story (2nd Revised ed.)

Set in the San Francisco Bay Area, Parallel Lives A Love Story follows the tangled destinies of two people-a mute girl and reckless boy-haunted by each other and the lessons they must learn to be united. Their paths cross at pivotal historic moments in the 1950s and 1960s, as the two of them attempt to survive the edgy and challenging great transition. Now as adults before they can set out on their own, first they each must find and confront the unforgettable and mysterious other.

Though they come from opposite worlds, they know one another in a profound and certain way as the currents of their lives bring them together and pull them apart, again and again. Until, finally, nothing is ever the same.

 Deftly interweaving the lives of Maja and Billy, Parallel Lives-historically fiction-is, ultimately, a coming-of-age tale of parallel lives, the power of communication, and the redemptive fire of love set against a time of cataclysmic change.
