A gripping novel about the whirlwind rise and fall of the 1970s' hottest folk rock golden couple and the mystery behind the breakup their millions of fans still mourn--from the New York Times bestselling author of Lilac Girls. Henry Blake and Liv Nash have it all--their songs are anthems for a generation, their love story the stuff of legend, until it all comes crashing down. Their story has never been told...until now. The Blakes are the First Family of 1970s folk rock: Henry, Pru, and Graham, who've summered on Martha's Vineyard since they were kids--all musical, wildly talented, and a little bit mad. The youngest, Henry, is special from the start, building a loyal following playing folk and blues in high school gyms. Liv Nash has been through the worst and come out the other side singing. She and her sister perform around the island, a sweet-voiced folk duo. After loving Henry since she was a teen, Liv marries him, and ignites their wild, meteoric rise to stardom. But fame has a price: relentless touring and partying, the unbridled rock and roll scene of Laurel Canyon and Greenwich Village, the glare of Hollywood, all threaten to destroy everything they've built. Decades later, LA podcaster Jessie West sets out to uncover the truth behind Henry and Liv's notorious split. What she finds is a hidden history of love, betrayal, sacrifice, and survival--an untold saga that could finally rewrite rock-and-roll history and change her own life in the process. A sweeping tale of music, heartbreak, and redemption, More Than Famous is for anyone who has ever wondered what it really costs to live the dream.
