John Lennon age 22 works in a mega corporation, part of England's most successful music hall. His job isn't to attend board meetings or to fire people but he is a mere cleaner nearing his tenth year working there. Paul McCartney age 21 is the new boss of that mega corporation. Not by choice though, he was appointed that role after his father had fallen gravely ill. Set in 1955, no one who walks in and out of these buildings is to be trusted but sweet, gullible Paul is new to the corporate world and is ready to impress. His naivety could result in him losing his father's empire, unless he can find somebody to trust. - I based this slightly on a movie I was watching in French class.

Siddhartha is a novel by Hermann Hesse that deals with the spiritual journey of self-discovery of a man named Siddhartha during the time of the Gautama Buddha. The book, Hesse's ninth novel, was written in German, in a simple, lyrical style. It was published in the U.S. in 1951 and became influential during the 1960s. Hesse dedicated the first part of it to Romain Rolland and the second to Wilhelm Gundert, his cousin. The word Siddhartha is made up of two words in Sanskrit language, siddha (achieved) + artha (what was searched for), which together means "he who has found meaning (of existence)" or "he who has attained his goals". In fact, the Buddha's own name, before his renunciation, was Siddhartha Gautama, Prince of Kapilavastu. In this book, the Buddha is referred to as "Gotama". Cover by: @Sapphire_2721

The Pettys adopt four young Liverpudlian boys, which leads to both trouble and joy as their lives change in many different ways while time shifts on in their lives. *An alternative universe fan fiction as the Beatles are older than Tom, but for this story, they are younger, naturally; also, some factual events are switched around. There is, of course, also fiction mixed in* ** I own not a single of the cover photos; found via Google Images
