Nine Months for a Lifetime: A Love Story

By Dustin Elkin

Nine Months for a Lifetime

by Dustin Elkin

A high school crush. A taco night reunion. A love story twenty-five years in the making.

Dustin never forgot Jennie Sadusky-the smart, funny, beautiful girl next door who lit up his 1990s suburban Arizona world. He spent his teenage years in her orbit, too shy to shoot his shot, and ended up in the friend zone for the next two decades. But when a Facebook post about tacos leads to a late-night text, Dustin finds himself cooking dinner for Jennie and walking hand-in-hand to the lake where everything-and nothing-has changed.

Set against the sun-drenched streets of Gilbert, Arizona, Nine Months for a Lifetime is a funny, raw, and nostalgic memoir-style novel about timing, single parenting, family, and rediscovering the kind of love that never really left. Told with disarming humor and emotional honesty, it's a story of healing old wounds, raising kids, dodging past mistakes, and realizing that sometimes life circles back at just the right moment.

For anyone who's ever wondered about "the one that got away"-this book is for you.
