What will it take to find the place you've always belonged? Eighteen-year-old Oliver Goode is not that different from the small-town church folks he's grown up around in Wheatley, Pennsylvania. But the tumultuous mid-60s and the long-buried traumas of his past are about to change all that. While his hard-fisted father pushes him to become a man, Ollie tries to elude his toxic pastor, keep his job at the general store, and enjoy a certain beauty named Stardust Hopewell. When his best friend heads out for Vietnam and tensions continue to grow at home, his inner war escalates. Soon, he'll have to decide where his true peace is found. A deeply affecting journey of shedding anxiety, Remembering Stardust is a story from the heartland of our recent American past. How do we become who we were always meant to be? Where do we discover the grace to live out loud? And how do we finally learn that there's far more to life than the fear we've always known?… (meer)

This is a coming of age story and the chooses we make on what we want for our life.

The story is of a young man living in the late 1960's in a small town. Oliver is raised by
a very strict fundamentalist father who is very domineering. Oliver is at the age that he
is starting to ask questions about his faith and where his live is going.

He meets a girl called Stardust who has a hole different look on life then his. She makes
quite and impression in his life. Through her learns to except how he feels.

This book is of family, friendships, first love and how all if this affects us.

An interesting read. ( )

Rating: 5 Stars!!
Review:
Thank you to Librarything for picking me to win this FREE ARC COPY in a giveaway on their website a few months ago!! I wasnt sure if i'd like it since this was my first time reading a book by this author but i have to say i really enjoyed it especially since i never read a Historical Fiction Novel set in the Mid 1960s.

The Characters were very interesting and enjoyable to read about. Oliver and Tara "Stardust" were my favorites.

The Setting was very well described which made me feel like i was actually in 1960s Wheatley, PA while reading especially when all the Political Topics came up.

Overall a Phenomenal Historical Fiction about Life in the 1960s!! Can't wait to read more by CD Baker in the future!!
