The bond of female friendship proves stronger than ever in Greg and Lindy Boeck's moving new memoir, 1964 All over Again . When Jo, Lindy, Leslie, Carol, Pam, Judy, and Libby first meet as freshmen at Centre College in 1964, they have no idea their friendship will span over forty years. But having all come from extremely similar backgrounds-complete with small towns, close-knit communities, and Sunday church services-it is no wonder these women find comfort in each other while attending the small university in rural Danville, Kentucky. At Centre in the 1960s, they find themselves in the midst of an era of racial unrest, drugs, hippies, and the Vietnam War raging all around them. But the women are insulated on their small campus. Two years later, they part ways with promises of eternal friendship. Life eventually gets in the way, however, as each moves on to marriage and motherhood-with forty years passing in the blink of an eye. It ultimately takes a diagnosis of terminal cancer to bring them back together, sparking a renewal of love and solidarity that burns brighter than ever-and reminds readers of the power of true friendship.
