The summer of 1984 was a small moment in time, but it never really left.
Set in rural Arkansas, Summer of 1984 is a reflection on childhood, memory, and the places that shape us long before we understand their importance. Through short, vivid moments, Chad Merritt revisits a season when days felt endless, friendships were uncomplicated, and life moved at a different pace.
This is not a coming-of-age story in the traditional sense, nor an attempt to recreate the past as it was. It is a remembrance of how it felt to be there - the sounds, the routines, the quiet spaces between events where life was simply being lived.
Written with honesty and restraint, Summer of 1984 is about holding on to what time eventually takes back, and about honoring the people and places that remain with us, even after they're gone.
For anyone who has ever looked back and realized a moment mattered more than they knew at the time.
