Lost in the Summer of ‘69

Peace, Love and Music: Eliza Knight on Lost in the Summer of '69

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 00:00:00 -0400

I'm excited to do something a little different on the show today and turn the microphone on myself. On this episode, we're going to talk about my novel, Lost in the Summer of '69 which released today! Through reader and listener questions, I'll share the inspiration behind the story, the research that brought 1969 to life, and the journey of writing a novel about music, memory, family, and second chances.

Three generations of women, an unforgettable summer of music, and the epic cross-country road trip they'll never forget.

Summer, 1969: Eleanor Bell doesn't have anything to lose. According to the doctors, she might not remember how to sing or play guitar soon, so why not head west now? Why not join the music festivals sweeping the country and lose herself in the music again, in a swan song of her own?

Except she forgets, maybe on purpose, to tell anyone where she's going. When her daughter, Leanne, discovers her mother missing, she enlists the help of her own daughter, Nora, to help her find Eleanor. The last thing Nora wants to do before starting as one of Yale's first female undergrads is hit the road. But then Nora hears something strange on the radio—her grandmother's voice, singing. Nora and Leanne hop in their Chevy for a cross-country road trip, always one step behind Eleanor, who has been dubbed the Dame of Rock n' Roll by none other than Johnny Carson.

Full of nostalgia and awash with the warmth of summer, Lost in the Summer of '69 is an epic celebration of savoring the encore-no matter what the next act may bring.

But when a Christmas visit home — and one surprising DNA test — reveals she's adopted, everything she thought she knew about herself begins to unravel. Unmoored and determined to uncover the truth, Veronica embarks on a sweeping journey across Europe—from the misty shores of County Mayo in Ireland, to the sun-soaked countryside of the Dordogne in France, through Lombardy’s rolling hills in Italy, and into the cozy charm of Copenhagen, Denmark.
