"Just Another Sunday" Is Anything but Ordinary
FIVE STARS: "Lia Benedict is a great main character as she makes her way in life through death and romances that never worked out as they should. Secondary characters such as Jesse, Darla, Lia's brothers and sisters and her parents are well-created and believable with their imperfections and shortcomings. Author Elizabeth Good has a story to tell of how coming of age is rarely easy and she writes that story very well. "Just Another Sunday" is for readers everywhere." - Alice DiNizo for READERS' FAVORITE
Set against the backdrop of the turbulent late 1960s and early 1970s, Just Another Sunday is inspired by actual events and follows Lia Benedict, a teenager growing up in the suburbs of New Jersey.
In the spring of 1968, Lia is 15 years old when her Italian-American family decides to leave Brooklyn for their dream home in the suburbs. But Lia is reluctant to pull up roots and go anywhere, especially to some godforsaken Jersey town. "I would rather thrive in the grime of New York than be plucked from my roots and transplanted in Nowheresland, just to wither away and die. I swear this is the kiss of death."
Her father, Frank Benedict, has worked hard to afford his own home for his wife, Marie, and five children after years of renting in Brooklyn. With the recent marriage of their eldest daughter, and visions of grandchildren in their future, new life in suburbia couldn't be more promising. But their dream home quickly becomes a living nightmare, and the family's move will prove to be the last they will ever make as an intact family of seven.
Just Another Sunday is a compelling five-year snapshot of one woman's life, taking us through teenage angst and rites of passage, new love and broken hearts, friendships and betrayal, triumph and tragedy, and one family's struggle to cope with the inconceivable.
You will search your soul and ponder Life's most provocative questions as you experience the unforgettable conclusion to Just Another Sunday.
About the Author
I adore spending time visiting with my grandchildren as much as possible. I live by the New Jersey Shore. (We are coming back from Hurricane Sandy!) I love swimming in my pool, enjoy reading a book per month, and I like zoning out on the treadmill or sitting by the ocean in a beach chair with headphones and an iPod. I drive with my Sirius XM radio blasting, and do most everything while listening to my favorite music.
