I Remember Summertime is a novel set in Southern California in the mid-1970s, and is a nostalgic slice of life during a pivotal summer for 15-year-old Cyndie Avondale and her family and friends.
The story is set around Cyndie and her gang putting on a summer performance with the town's youth theater group. As the story progresses, Cyndie is smitten in a summer fling with Danny, a popular and attractive senior guy she's had her eye on, while holding on to her favorite summer passions from younger days, such as bike riding, going to carnivals, savoring ice cream, and enjoying rainbows.
New characters from outside of Cyndie's hometown, the idyllic suburban Faircrest, are introduced, and with them, edgier topics relevant to the times emerge. How long will these newcomers, clearly influential to Cyndie that summer, stick around, and what does the future hold for Cyndie with Danny?
As the twists and turns of I Remember Summertime unravel, Cyndie, feeling as much drama off the stage as on, vows to maintain the magic of summer all year long.
If you were a teenager in the 1970s, you will love the references in I Remember Summertime, from music to cars to clothing to media.
The novel was originally written during the same era while the author was in high school. For decades, the author revisited the story about this powerful time in her life. Nearly a half-century later, this teenage story is still relevant for all generations, as it addresses the universal battle of young women who must face the division between childhood and becoming a woman.
Written for anyone of any age who's ever been involved in high school shows, the pangs of first love, and the daunting choices that arrive at this tender age, everyone will enjoy this delicious sun-drenched teen tale nearly 50 years in the making.
