Timely and Timeless Story
Carol Owens Campbell’s authentic voice throughout Look Away No More is enhanced with skillfully written multi-level metaphors that will return you to a tumultuous time in American history. The 1970’s! Readers will immediately immerse themselves in her timely and timeless story!
A Purpose
Carol’s well-researched facts will also transport you to a time when US college campuses were on the cusp of anarchy. Tally McCall, the heroine of the story, is a sorority girl and history scholar who is searching for purpose in a world ablaze.
Tally’s Challenges
Tally’s brother is serving in Vietnam and her sweetheart is a Yankee. She has been raised by her father who is a respected judge and her mother, who is a successful bridal boutique owner. Yet Tally has no desire to marry and worries about the legal consequences of helping a friend escape the draft.
Tally’s Discoveries
The killing of students at Kent State sparks Tally’s fury and passion for justice.
Tally’s newfound enthusiasm encourages her to discover how to navigate through landmines of country club society, stay true to her ideals, and seize the power of hidden Georgia history and her privileged status to challenge the status quo.
Closing Thought
If Charles Dickens had written “A Tale of Two Campuses” and Geoffrey Chaucer had written “The Ingenue’s Tale,” the combination might celebrate a witty, romantic, brilliant girl during a time of unrest who is determined to prove her abiding creed that “A knowledge of history is the key to survival.”
