Kissing the Sky by Lisa Patton
In the summer of 1969, Suzannah feels trapped between the changing world and her strict Southern upbringing. Home from college, she lives under the watchful eye of her domineering father, who condemns rock music and controls every aspect of her life. When her free spirited best friend Livy suddenly reappears with an invitation to attend Woodstock, Suzannah seizes the chance to escape. Worried about her brother serving in Vietnam and desperate for freedom, she sneaks away on a journey that will change her forever.
At the festival, Suzannah is swept into a whirlwind of music, rebellion, and awakening. She falls for Leon, a boy who embodies the promise and risk of first love. Yet beneath the euphoria lie betrayal and painful truths, including revelations about Livy’s reckless choices. In Kissing the Sky by Lisa Patton, one young woman’s search for independence unfolds against the backdrop of a generation on the brink of transformation.
