When twelve-year-old Finn Maguire is smitten by the beautiful Billie, his dad’s twenty-five-year-old co-worker and subsequent lover, he’s thrust into a rivalry with the father he idolizes until a tragedy on his thirteenth birthday cuts him off from Billie.

At nineteen, unmoored by his mother’s cancer diagnosis, Finn seeks consolation with Billie convinced she’s been waiting for him. Tempted, will he consummate the relationship that’s preoccupied him for years or overcome his obsession and choose true love with an age-appropriate partner?

A companion novel.

Finn at Forty returns to Finn Maguire years later, when time, distance, and adult consequence complicate the story he thought he understood.

This companion novel explores what happens after first love becomes memory — and what it means to encounter the past with the clarity (and limitations) of age.
