Lovefest

Summary

Jordan Cullen is a nineteen-year-old sophomore at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts. She invites her grandmother and best friend, Ellie, to visit for Parents' Weekend and meet her favorite professor and adviser, Dr. Hay. Ellie never imagined that Dr. Hay is none other than Jean Hay, her former flame, and first love. Ellie left many things unsaid when they parted, leaving Jean to mend the pieces of a broken heart. Fifty-four years later, the two stand in front of each other, feeling mixed emotions.

Ellie has called California home for the last half-century, where she has worked as a painter and art teacher while raising two children with her late husband. After completing her doctorate in political science, Jean settled in Massachusetts, where she remains a respected professor. She has been single for the past twenty years after ending her thirty-year relationship with her best friend, Beth Davison.

No one in Ellie's family knows about Jean. Everyone in Jean's life has heard of Ellie. Is it possible to resurrect a love lost for many years? Ellie and Jean are about to discover that certain stories are still waiting to be written.
