"Some seasons feel like promises. Others feel like lies in disguise."
Caleb Morgan wasn't supposed to still think about that year, the one filled with cheap beer, broken furniture, and a group of friends who once felt unshakable. But when his daughter finds an old photo buried in the garage, memories come rushing back: of bonds that fractured quietly, of the girl who never quite belonged but somehow changed everything, and of the version of himself he never really outgrew.
Now a father, a husband, and a man who rarely speaks of the past, Caleb must confront the spaces between who he was and who he's become.
Told in alternating chapters between present and past, False Spring is a story of closeness and distance, of things left unsaid and the people we carry with us long after they're gone. Lyrical, intimate, and quietly devastating, it's about the friendships that fall apart, and the ones that hold everything together without trying to.
