America's first New Age celebrity, Goodman's 1968 book, \u003ci\u003eSun Signs\u003c\/i\u003e, sold over 60 million copies, while the advance for her second book, \u003ci\u003eLove Signs\u003c\/i\u003e, broke an unprecedented $2.25 million. And yet, while Goodman was teaching the world how to search the skies for clarity, her gaze was fixed upon her own dark, mysterious pursuit. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In 1973, Goodman's daughter was found dead and the police declared it a suicide; Goodman believed otherwise. She spent years depleting her fortune, chasing down leads that might uncover the\u003ci\u003e real \u003c\/i\u003etruth about her beloved daughter's death. Headlines criticized and discredited Goodman, ultimately overshadowing the revolutionary nature of her work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Courtney Ann LaFaive first discovered Goodman's books as a teenager. Reading her astrological wisdom decades after its heyday, LaFaive contemplates the redemption of Goodman as a literary and spiritual figure, all the while reckoning with her own impulsive forays into love and relationships. \u003ci\u003eFollow the Signs\u003c\/i\u003e asks what it means when facts become stranger than fiction and who we become when we must walk away from those we love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Courtney Ann Lafaive\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Iowa Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781685970659\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/23\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCourtney Ann LaFaive\u003c\/b\u003e is assistant professor of English at the University of North Dakota.
