Stars Rain Sun Moon: Part 2

There comes a moment in time when all things past must be put to rest. In Stars Rain Sun Moon that particular notion is not merely a platitude but a green light for a cross-country road trip in a 1958 Buick Special in search of the lost chords of friendship. When Donovan Hart receives word at his home outside Savannah, Georgia, that his longtime friend, Morgan Palmer, is suffering from the effects of early-onset dementia, he knows he must go and see him before the inevitability of Alzheimer's Disease takes its final toll. Donovan contacts old pal Coop McCord in nearby Saint Simons to let him know of Morgan's condition and see if Coop will go with him to Morgan's home in Oklahoma City. The two take off on the journey traveling in Gladys, a 1958 Buick Special that Coop, Donovan, Morgan, and Ed Moore bought from two migrating hippies back in the summer of 1968, the year the four of them departed from their hometown of Tybee Island to go to school at a small college outside Macon. In the ensuing forty-plus years since, Ed has vanished in Hurricane Katrina from his home in Mobile, Alabama, so it is Coop and Donovan on this rickety road trip through Georgia and Memphis to Oklahoma City and finally to Mobile and Dauphin Island, searching along the way for the components of friendship that once made their lives special and magical and wondering all the while if it is now too late to find it.
