More about the book
It's 1964 garage bands play popular songs in school cafeterias and church social halls.In the upscale Virginia suburb of Lake Barcroft, 14-year-old Beck Lyons is in love with Randall, a popular local rock musician. Randall offers Beck a different life than being the perfect daughter of a powerful politician . When Randall gets Beck pregnant, she turns to her grandmother for help. Her grandmother more concerned to protect Beck's father than Beck, sends Beck to a Catholic home for unwed mothers.After giving up her baby for adoption, Beck returns to Lake Barcroft uncertain who knows the truth. Still in love with Randall, her experience at the Catholic home has imbued Beck with a desire to follow in the footsteps of Saint Therese and join the Carmelite order of nuns. Her grandmother, a prejudice Virginia Episcopalian, is shocked, but Beck perseveres until Randall, now a famous musician, asks Beck to marry him.Uncertain if Randall knows, Beck doesn't tell him even when she discovers that their daughter has started to follow his band. Will Beck risk possible incest to keep her secret, and what will happen if she reveals the truth? Filled with details about the lives of Washington elite and rock musicians, LAKE BARCROFT is a suspenseful telling of a life and its tragic end.
