A Rose for Jenny — Carole Gift Page

It's 1960. Jenny Wayne is 18 years old and ready to conquer the world. Following her dream, Jenny and her 19-year-old boyfriend, Johnny DiCaprio, have joined a rock 'n roll band. From one end of the country to the other, they chase the elusive rainbow of success and fame. Their search for fulfillment and meaning in life nearly costs them their love, if not their very lives. It's not until Jenny returns to her hometown of Willowbrook that she finds the joy and fulfillment she has been seeking. This fifth novel in the Heartland Memories Series takes readers on a cross-country adventure, including snapshot moments of the early 60's on the "American Bandstand" TV show, the civil rights movement in the South, the Pearl Harbor memorial in Hawaii, and the events surrounding the assassination and funeral of John F. Kennedy.
