As the golden days unfold, Kat confronts memories of her first love, lost to bitter political divides in the 1970s, while Lily finds herself falling for a man whose secrets threaten to shatter her fragile new beginning. But with secrets rising from the past and the future under threat, both women must decide: will they risk opening their hearts again?
Two women. Two generations. Two lives entwined by love, legacy and hope.
The First and Last Summer is an unforgettable story of friendship, second chances, and the enduring magic of first love.
