lways Summer is a moving coming-of-age novel about first love, ambition, memory, and the moments that shape a lifetime.

It is the summer of 1954. Nineteen-year-old Frank Madison, an Olympic gold medalist and rising professional boxer, arrives at Greenwood Lake to prepare for the biggest fights of his career.

Rich in historical detail and emotional depth, Hal Pritzker's novel reminds readers that while first love may belong to the past, its impact can last a lifetime.
