Coming out later this year, That First Summer (Part Two) is a continuation of That First Summer (Part One).
In the first part of That First Summer, it’s 1999 and sixteen-year-old Jonie Kirkland’s job at Twin Pines State Park’s swimming pool feels like a dream. She finds more than she could have ever hoped for: coworkers who become friends, Brandon Murphy, a goofy boy who tries to win her heart, and a pool run by the quiet and mysterious Alice Livingston. But just when Jonie finally feels settled, it all comes crashing down.
Twenty-five years later, in the continuation of Jonie and Alice’s story, Jonie left Twin Pines and hasn’t looked back. However, a single, simple letter pulls her back. She finds herself swept up in the drama that Alice left behind: drama with the pool, the community that loves it, the investors that want to tear it down, and those who are harder to read, including the impossibly charming Evan Harper. She also finds that Brandon Murphy never left… and she never left his heart.
If you haven’t grabbed a copy of That First Summer (Part One), the paperback is available at a number of local bookshops, in addition to Amazon, B&N and Books A Million. It’s also available for Kindle and on Kindle Unlimited.
