A Summer of Love -- A Tender True Story That Will Remind Readers of Their First Love


BOCA RATON, Fla., March 13, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Some of the sweetest love stories are those that are true. Whether it was innocent puppy love or something that somehow didn't last doesn't really matter. What matters are the memories that were shared and the experiences that helped someone become the person he or she is today. Author George M. Leon shares a love story based on his life more than fifty years ago in Forever One Summer.

It all began one magical summer in 1954 when the author was fifteen years old. He recalls the events that brought him to that wonderful summer of discovery when he fell in love for what he believed was the first and last time in his life. That time led him to discover more about himself as he dealt with life at all ages. It was the key that molded him into the person that he is now. Will George have a chance to meet his first love again? Will that summer allow him to find new love in unexpected ways? Read on and find out in this heartwarming book!

This romantic and poignant story is filled with discovery, joy, and the innocence of teenage years back in the 50s. It also shows how those years became the building blocks of a lifetime. Join the author as he takes you back to that special time that he would always remember as Forever One Summer.

This book will be featured in the upcoming 2009 BookExpo America to be held May in New York City. Watch out for it!
