About Pushing Leaves Towards the Sun
From the publisher's feed
Pushing Leaves Towards the Sun
Billy and Lindy wrestle with Oso's untimely motorcycle death—through music.
The lyrics for 12 original companion songs are developed within the story. So, this novel rocks—literally.
Welcome to my world of musical fiction—a new genre of literature.
Cheers, Mark L Berry
When Oso gets yanked off his motorcycle and killed by a closed parking lot chain, Billy feels guilty for having taught him to hop curbs and shortcut traffic lights. Billy's survivor's guilt drags him down a spiral of excessive alcohol, one-night stands, body painting, and reckless driving. He's now all too aware that life is short—play hard.
Meanwhile, Oso's former girlfriend Lindy pours her grief into her new folk-rock album as she struggles with whether she can ever let herself love again. Can she turn this personal tragedy into something meaningful through her music?
Pushing Leaves Towards the Sun explores survivor's guilt and grief through reckless adventure, a dozen original songs, and fiction. When you've lost someone you love, there are no easy answers. Know that you're not alone in your struggle. Billy and Lindy are here.
Only segments of the companion songs are used, when appropriate, within this podcast. The full versions of all original songs can be heard on my website: http://marklberry.com/pushingleaves/
This novel is intended for adults. It includes some graphic language, sexual situations, and questionable behavior. Recovery from intense loss is a rough road—100 miles-per-hour on two wheels with no regard for oncoming traffic, as an example.
