ON THE WAY TO WOODSTOCK Reviewed by Kristie
Leigh Maguire, MyShelf.com ON THE WAY TO WOODSTOCK is a unique flashback to the age of hippies, drugs and rock and roll as seen through the eyes of Jess Martin, one of the many Baby Boomers who lived through that time of tumultuous change in America's culture. Woven throughout the book is the story of Zoe Ryerson, one of the many children of that free spirited generation of Baby Boomers who was given up for adoption at birth. Zoe is seeking her roots, trying to find the mother and father who gave her up. She is looking for answers and is determined to find them. She has discovered that Holly O'Neal, her birth mother, is dead. All she has to go on is the name of her mother's best friend from college days, Jess Martin. When Zoe confronts Jess in her search for identity, their two worlds collide - Baby Boomer Generation meets Generation X. Neither understands the other. But in that emotionally charged weekend that Jess and Zoe spend together reliving the life of Holly O'Neal, both women are faced with disturbing questions about their own lives - questions to which they had subconsciously been seeking the answers to all their lives, questions that they finally have to deal with. Elizabeth Warren and Sheri Davenport have created a compelling tale in ON THE WAY TO WOODSTOCK. It is a must read for both Baby Boomers and Generation X. It is an excellent way for one generation to try to understand the other.
