"You made your bed, now lie in it, and I hope you go straight to hell..." Before Johnny could finish, he turned his back so his dad could not see his tears of rage.
MeadowBrook is a picturesque town with rolling hills and meandering brooks. Weeping willows grace the streams winding through the farmland, and bands of elusive wild horses roam freely around the town's pasture lands. An unsolved missing-person case profoundly affects the citizens of this charming Canadian town. This entertaining story will resonate with any adult age group, engaging the question of whether a stereotype defines us or if we define it.
Class of '78 is a nostalgic, twisting journey to a time when fashion, music, crushes and cliques shaped the characters and small-town gossip, rumours, and stereotypes influenced the relationships. In MeadowBrook, everyone knows each other's strengths, weaknesses, flaws, and secrets. The years following graduation reveal how their choices have impacted their struggles and successes. As the ten-year reunion looms, introspection and evaluation of the past become the main focus. Little do they know that reuniting will help them conquer beliefs that have held them back from realizing their self-worth and resolve the decades-long mystery of the disappearance of the town's founding father.
