The Summer I Have Left

Eighteen-year-old Indi Martin has spent the last two years away from her older sister, Lilly, who left their home in Canada for a new life in the small Texas town of Chesterton.

Now Indi is spending the summer on Lilly's farm with her husband, Colton, and their two children, Weston and Kylen. To everyone around her, it looks like the perfect summer-a chance to reconnect with family, make new memories, and experience a life far different from the one she's known in Canada.

But Indi has a secret.

She's dying of cancer.

And she doesn't want anyone in Texas to know.
Determined not to let her illness define her final months, Indi creates a bucket list of everything she wants to experience before her time runs out. Then she meets Odessa Laurfield, an eighteen-year-old waitress who dreams of becoming a veterinarian. What starts as a casual friendship quickly becomes something neither girl expected: a best friend who makes Indi feel like herself again.

Then there's Beau Daniels, the twenty-year-old bull rider who lives across the road from Lilly. Between dusty roads, summer nights, rodeos, and stolen kisses beneath the Texas stars, Indi begins to fall for him.

For the first time, she starts imagining a future she knows she can't have.

As the summer unfolds, Indi finds herself caught between the life she's always wanted and the secret she's determined to keep. But secrets don't stay buried forever-and the closer she gets to the people she loves, the harder it becomes to hide the truth.

Because Indi came to Texas planning to make memories before she dies. She never expected to find a reason to want to live.

A bittersweet coming-of-age romance about friendship, family, first love, and making every moment count when you don't know how many moments you have left.
