Inspired by the beat generation of yesteryear, ALL I EVER KNEW tells the poignant story of Anderson, who separated from his best friend, finds by happenstance a woman who changes everything, and whose road trips and travels are a quest for love, truth, meaning, and unforgettable experience. Written with a mixture of poetic starry-eyed sensibility, wild ambition, and infused with the author's romance for adventure with music as the heartbeat of everything, ALL I EVER KNEW is a quintessential vision of true love, freedom, and hope. Conceptualized on a bitter-cold afternoon in a cafe in Greenwich Village in New York City as holiday lights twinkled along the snowy streets, Dustin M. Pardue set in motion Anderson and Elise's story. Coming from extremely different backgrounds and experiences in their pasts, they create their own world intertwined with poetry, art, and rock n' roll. They claim the road and the journey for their own while exploring the beauty of everything that lies just beneath the surface of everyday life. Joyful hearts fill the night skies with brilliant stars.
