SUMMERTIME - Matter

Summertime Volume One opens the canon with a return to presence, memory, and the quiet electricity of becoming. This first volume follows a young narrator moving through heat‑heavy days, porch‑light nights, and the small rituals that shape a life before you realize it’s happening. What begins as a simple season unfolds into a study of matter — the weight of family, the pull of place, and the moments that refuse to fade.

Told in short, mythic bursts, Summertime blends humor, reflection, and the unmistakable voice of a storyteller who knows how to turn the ordinary into ceremony. This is the foundation of the five‑volume journey: a coming‑of‑age told with clarity, warmth, and the unmistakable rhythm of the South.

Volume One sets the tone. The rest of the series deepens the echo.
