"Sherry and I knew nothing. It was 1955, and we knew nothing. We’d been living in Winnetka for four months. Daddy had been working at his new engineering firm for those same four months. On the night of November 1st, which I’d later learn was known as the Day of the Dead, and think, of course it is, Sherry and I were sleeping when the phone rang, or maybe a policeman came to our door."

REVIEWS
Cuppy and Stew is completely natural, poignant, and riveting from the first page to the last. An easy read in the best sense of that phrase, and a major work of fiction."
- Ron Hansen, author of Atticus and A Wild Surge of Guilty Passion

“Eric Goodman’s Cuppy & Stew: The Bombing of Flight 629, A Love Story reads like a fairy tale—until some pretty remarkable darkness sets in, as the title tells us it will. Part novel, part memoir (the author writes in the voice of his wife), part journalistic inquiry, the dark forests of this tale lead down to the far more treacherous and psychological underworld of the hero’s journey—and a gritty, hard-earned climb back to the light. A most compelling read.”
- Sands Hall, author of Reclaiming My Decade Lost in Scientology |
"The grim tragedy of the first US terrorist bombing in 1955 that killed the narrator’s parents hovers over this powerful story. Readers are given the complicated love story of the two who die on United Flight 629 and the moving struggle of the daughters who are orphaned by the tragedy: “It was me and my sissy against the world.” Cuppy and Stew brilliantly blends the known and the imagined and will stand as a model for new possibilities in historical fiction."
