After 37 years, I am finally ready to present volume one of my trilogy to the world. In Love With Spring is based on Louisa May Alcott's classic coming of age story, Little Women, but it takes place in the 1980s, a decade kicked off by the assassination of everyone's second favorite Beatle (admit it, he only became your favorite after he died. Paul was always cuter and more talented!)
CHAPTER ONE
Dad left the same day John Lennon was assassinated, and for the rest of her life, Jules would connect the two events in her mind, where they lived as a single moment that changed everything; made life harsh, sad, lonely. In the two weeks since, Mom had maintained a steadfast position of grace and composure that Jules admired but could not rise to. And didn’t even try.
