I finally found the only woman I ever loved—and she hates my guts. I’m Syd Wilson. As bass player for the iconic rock band Licks of Leather, I got rich strumming tunes that make ladies moan. It’s a sweet gig for a kid from the streets. I almost never think about the girl who once melted my delinquent heart. Well, I try not to. But when I find her sixteen years later, I’m beyond shocked. And I know in that instant, I’ll do anything to keep her. There’s just one problem. She wants revenge. I’m Caris Burton. When my dream vacation becomes a nightmare, the boy I once lost my heart to swoops in. Except Syd is all man now, and I’m not sure whether to kiss or kill him. I’m shocked when he sticks his neck out for me—something he didn’t do in the past. Still, I plan on getting my payback…at least until our passion reignites like a flamethrower, leaving me torn. If I want any future with Syd, I’ll have to forgive our past and give him my whole heart or live with the regret forever.

The rock gods from Licks of Leather wow the world with their raw lyrics and electrifying tunes. But nothing about the rock-star life—especially whirlwind tours, banging parties, and eager groupies—can mute the demons that put each on their personal highway to hell. Lead singer Burk Jennings is blessed with a voice that’s netted him millions of dollars. But cash, adoring women, and mansions on each coast can’t grant his restless soul peace—until her. Guitarist Darren Ash lives to strum under the spotlights. But when he hooks up with a gorgeous redhead, she rocks his world, steals his heart…and disappears. He finds her—along with something life-altering. Keyboardist Ozzy Page caresses the ivories, haunted by the woman who once slipped through his fingers. She’s since risen from the ashes to the top of the charts. When fate thrusts her back into his life, he’ll have to conquer his hunger…or lose his heart. Drummer Ross Walker bangs the drums like a boss…but his existence is empty. After nearly losing it all, he got clean and sober. Now he ruthlessly maintains control. But when an innocent beauty crashes into his disciplined life, Ross must hold even tighter—or come undone completely. Bassist Syd Wilson plucks each note with gusto, so he isn’t swallowed up by his horrific past. But when tragedy strikes again, his only salvation might be a compassionate beauty—if she has the strength to help him and he has to courage to change forever.

In this exceptional cultural history, Atlantic Senior Editor Ronald Brownstein—“one of America's best political journalists (The Economist)—tells the kaleidoscopic story of one monumental year that marked the city of Los Angeles’ creative peak, a glittering moment when popular culture was ahead of politics in predicting what America would become. Los Angeles in 1974 exerted more influence over popular culture than any other city in America. Los Angeles that year, in fact, dominated popular culture more than it ever had before, or would again. Working in film, recording, and television studios around Sunset Boulevard, living in Brentwood and Beverly Hills or amid the flickering lights of the Hollywood Hills, a cluster of transformative talents produced an explosion in popular culture which reflected the demographic, social, and cultural realities of a changing America. At a time when Richard Nixon won two presidential elections with a message of backlash against the social changes unleashed by the sixties, popular culture was ahead of politics in predicting what America would become. The early 1970s in Los Angeles was the time and the place where conservatives definitively lost the battle to control popular culture. Rock Me on the Water traces the confluence of movies, music, television, and politics in Los Angeles month by month through that transformative, magical year. Ronald Brownstein reveals how 1974 represented a confrontation between a massive younger generation intent on change, and a political order rooted in the status quo. Today, we are again witnessing a generational cultural divide. Brownstein shows how the voices resistant to change may win the political battle for a time, but they cannot hold back the future.

Picking up where its predecessor -- the best-selling On the Loose -- left off, this reflection revisits the physical and spiritual terrain that shaped two brothers' lives. Consumed by a passion to fully experience the western wilderness and to navigate untamed -- and unpredictable -- waterways, Terry and Renny Russell set out to travel down the Green River in Utah. Several miles into the journey, their raft doubles over. Terry perishes, and after washing up on the beach, Renny embarks upon what is to become a nearly four-decade-long odyssey to understand how he came to be the sole survivor and how to fully connect with his brother's spirit. Interweaving the past and present, this vibrantly illustrated meditation documents the metamorphosis of Renny's psyche, the natural environment that has sustained him, and ultimately his redemption.
