Another Goodbye Emily excerpt

It’s Boomer Lit Friday again, and time to check out excerpts from all the great baby boomer novels. Just click on the link and browse away.

Below is another excerpt from my return to Wodostock novel, Goodbye Emily. The scene occurs as rain interrupts the performance on day one of Woodstock, just after Sparky and Emily meet:

We held our hands toward the sky as the rain sprinkled down in a welcome cooling mist. The mist turned into sheets of rain. I removed the windbreaker and held it over our heads. I drew Emily close and enjoyed her damp body against mine.

Many in the crowd scattered to the shelter of tents and cars in the camping area at the farm’s edge. More sought cover near the speaker towers, which swayed in the storm’s wind and downpour.

“We should go back.”

Emily took several steps in a different direction, toward the stage. She stopped and held out a hand to me as the flower painted on her cheek slid down her face in wet yellow streaks. “You can go back, or you can come with me.”
