Overview

Karl James Lucci built an iconic coffee empire on patience and precision until a heart attack shatters his reality. Between ICU beeps and Pacific surf, he wakes in the 1980s. He is sixteen again, in a summer he thought he had left behind. His mother is singing in the kitchen, and Jimmy Ridge Holloway is waiting at the end of Bacon Street, ready to go surfing, salt water on his skin, sunshine in his hair. As Karl relives his friendship with Jimmy, he confronts the love he buried and the silence that destroyed them both. His grandfather Nonno, gone before Karl was born and lingering in purgatory after his suicide, becomes an unlikely guide, reminding him that when the hands align on his watch, the choice will matter. In this liminal summer of surf and memory, Karl learns three rules. Listen. Tell the truth. Leave things better. What he chooses to change, and what it may cost, will determine whether love can survive a second chance. Set against the sunlit coast of Southern California, First True Love Affair is a time-bending love story about memory, first love, and the moments that ask everything of us.
