Summerfield: Inspired by a true story

By Albert J Allie

A powerful coming-of-age novel inspired by true events

The past is never truly gone. For Alan Foster, it is a living, breathing force that has followed him from the streets of Summerfield to the present day. When a tragic loss forces him to return home for a funeral that never should have happened, he is thrust back into a world of buried secrets, long-lost friendships, and painful memories.

As Alan navigates the gritty streets of 1980s Queens, New York, he relives the friendships, love, and betrayals that shaped his life. From rooftop escapes to handball court battles, his childhood was filled with laughter, struggle, and survival. But revisiting the past means facing hard truths-about his broken family, his first love, and the choices that have haunted him for years.

A gripping blend of nostalgia, raw emotion, and redemption, Summerfield is a must-read for fans of gritty urban fiction, coming-of-age stories, and powerful narratives about resilience, brotherhood, and the enduring scars of the past.
