In this vibrant story by Oakland writer Travis Alan Lafferty, Maya Morales meets Doug Mahoney and rescues him from terminal celibacy. We meet her creative family and follow them as they live, love, and evolve in a world of music, nature, social movements, and thrilling motorcycle trips. Written during the tumultuous year of 2020, the narrative explores themes of romance, personal growth, corporate greed, racial oppression, mass protests, and addiction recovery with warmth, humor, and compassion. Tension builds as two violent thugs threaten the family, culminating in a harrowing car chase. Each character is developed with depth and nuance, with their lives intertwining in intricate drama, and explicit dialogue is used throughout to bring them to life. The ebook version is illustrated with masterful color photographs and provides the reader with a memorable vision of the summer many Americans may want to forget. The hardcopy is 7x10 featuring a sumptuous cover photo and easy-to-read large type, with black and white line illustrations created from iconic Bay Area photos. It will look great on your coffee table and would make a nice gift. The symphony in the title refers to a piece being composed by one of the characters, but also to the way we continued to thrive and evolve as a nation during 2020. I'm sure you'll enjoy it!
