"What we have in mind is a sweet look back at the good old days. We must have been in heaven, man." Wavy Gravy, "Michael I just finished reading your novel and found it a fantastic read and wonderful story! It would make a terrific movie. Thanks for letting me see it. cheers, Joe." Country Joe McDonald, "What we have in mind is a sweet look back at the good old days. We must have been in heaven, man." Wavy Gravy "Oh my ... I had no idea what I was in for when I started reading this book. Wonderfully engaging, heart-warming, entertaining and soooooo very good that it had me taking a walk down memory lane with the story's flashbacks to the sixties and Woodstock. (And no, I wasn't a member of the Woodstock Nation, but I can safely claim that my Woodstock album has more grooves and scratch marks than any other album I've owned!) Honestly, I don't think I've ever read a book where I connected with that many issues personally, all those themes from the heart-breaking loss of a loved one, to coming to terms with all the challenges, both physical and emotional, of growing old, of renewing your purpose in life and living, of reconnecting with old friends and family, of discovering who you really are. As I read, I felt myself riding that emotional rollercoaster, crying, laughing, feeling like my heart would break as I empathized with Sparky, Josh, and Buck and their journey through life, back to the place where it all seems to have started for them. I thoroughly enjoyed it, highly recommend it. And if you choose to read Goodbye Emily, I hope you find it as much of a fulfilling experience as I did. Thank you, Michael Murphy!"

Synopsis
Two years after the death of his wife Emily from cancer, a college professor faces his own life-threatening illness, broken-heart syndrome. Adding to his grief, a bean counting administrator has kicked him into early retirement, his daughter is considering a dream job halfway across the county, and his only friend is a pot smoking Vietnam vet stuck in the sixties. The professor plans a road trip to scatter his wife Emily's ashes where they met at Woodstock. To recreate the original trip they'll need to bring along a high school buddy who is  in a nursing home with early stage Alzheimer's. When the home refuses to allow their friend to come along, the professor and the vet bust him out, attracting the attention of the cops and the media, fascinating the public. Good-bye, Emily is a journey of self-discovery for a man who thought he'd left all important journeys in life behind, only to rediscover that life is still groovy after all., They met at Woodstock, and the love lasted a lifetime. Then she was gone, and so was his college teaching job. Heartbroken but determined, he calls on his two best friends to help him return to the place it all began. One last chance to say "Goodbye Emily." The professor and his Woodstock buddy need the third tripper from back in the day, now in a nursing home with early stage Alzheimer's. When the home refuses to allow their friend to come along, the professor and the vet bust him out, attracting the attention of the cops and the media, fascinating the public. The roadtrip turns into a flight from "the man" and not even the professor's defense attorney daughter can help. In a psychedelic van, the trio dodge cops and prosecutors. Against all odds, they close in on their destination, where thousands of supporters and cops await them. Goodbye Emily is the irreverently funny story about a journey of self-discovery for a man who thought he'd left all important journeys in life behind., Three baby boomers relive their 1969 trip to Woodstock. One final roadtrip. One last chance to say Goodbye Emily. They met at Woodstock, and the love lasted a lifetime. Then she was gone, and so was his college teaching job. Heartbroken but determined, he calls on his two best friends to help him return to the place it all began.The professor and his Woodstock buddy need the third tripper from back in the day, now in a nursing home with early stage Alzheimer's.
