![]() ![]() Vivian Howe, author of 13 beach novels and mother of three young adults, is killed in a hit and run car accident while jogging near her home in Nantucket. ![]() The quiet becomes silence.ĪBOUT ‘GOLDEN GIRL’: Golden Girl follows Nantucket novelist Vivi, who gets one final summer - after she is killed in a hit-and-run accident - to protect her secrets and learn from her mistakes while her loved ones still on earth try to solve the mystery of her death. Something is wrong with her leg.Ī tinny, faraway voice sings, ‘Golden Girl, I’ll keep you forever.’ Then the music stops. ![]() Vivi is airborne, she’s flying – until her head slams against the ground. Her eyes are closed and by the time she realises something is wrong, it’s too late – Vivi’s neck snaps her heart feels like a stick of dynamite exploding. When she starts running again, she sings along, ‘Burning love comes once in a lifetime.’ She nearly pushes the skip button, but she does love the song, despite her complicated history with it, and it’s been so long since she heard it. This song brings back such intense memories of high school that she feels if she turns her head, she’ll see Brett Caspian standing in the middle of Kingsley Road. What is this song doing on the Nine Pound Hammer playlist? Did Carson add it? But Carson hates classic rock she calls it ‘music from beyond the grave.’ She stops and stares at her phone’s screen. EXCERPT: The song changes to opening guitar chords that seize Vivi’s attention. ![]()
