The First Time

Tommy, a twelve-year-old on a camping trip with his family, feels that nothing can make his vacation more perfect than fishing, swimming, and bike riding. Until Leah and her family arrive, that is. Leah is a beautiful young girl with a vibrancy and zest for living like no one Tommy has ever met. But Leah has a secret that she's not quite ready to let Tommy in on at first: she has cancer. The First Time follows Tommy and Leah as they spend the week falling for each other and coming to terms with Leah's condition. Think My Girl meets Stand By Me; this story set in the late 80s will have you laughing and crying and remembering what it was like that summer when you finally began to grow up.
