Think class reunions are boring, you're wrong, maybe dead wrong!
On August 18, 2018, members of the Sac Prairie High School graduating class of 1973 gathered to celebrate their 45th reunion. This was to be the last class reunion given how polarized the class remained in the aftermath of a vindictive senior year prank perpetrated during the Homecoming Pep Rally. Unbeknownst to the attendees, the foreign exchange student, a renowned Al Qaeda terrorist with unbridled hatred for his former classmates, aimed to ensure that this was the last reunion courtesy of the explosive conclusion to the evening he had meticulously planned. What A Fool Believes provides a complete account of the shocking events of this infamous international terrorism incident delivering the most accurate intimate perspective as told by surviving participants. Join the Class Clown, the IT girl, the Stoner, the BMOC, Miss Congeniality, the Guitar Man, the Mr. Megabucks, the love-struck Farmer, the Gossip Girl and a host of others to learn this amazing story told by memories associated with songs of their senior year. What A Fool Believes is a riveting story of complexity, human interaction, the power of love, heartbreak, loss, the battle between good versus evil, enduring hope and ultimately, redemption. “Everything will be all right” is the motto espoused by the deep thinker of the class but will it be? Or....is this just what a fool believes?
