ABOUT HOLD ON TO TOMORROW
A young woman fights to follow her dreams at the start of the 1960s in this gripping, moving, and empowering read.
November 22, 1963. As Jolene Johnson prepares to watch President John F. Kennedy’s parade drive by the Texas School Book Depository in Dallas, she remembers the start of the decade, when the future seemed full of promise and hope.
America was on the brink of change when JFK entered the White House, and Jolene was in college with ambitions of her own. But she had no idea of the struggles that were to come . . .
As Jolene witnesses the country’s deep political divisions take the darkest of turns on that tragic day, can she somehow find the courage to keep her own dreams alive and follow her heart?
This enthralling, hopeful novel about a young woman’s determination to fight for a brighter future against a backdrop of political turmoil and tragedy is a great read for fans of The Women by Kristin Hannah.
