1987
An Unfinished Love Story

In the summer of 1987, two teenagers met on the sandy shores of South Padre Island, Texas. What began as a chance encounter quickly turned into an unforgettable love story—days filled with beaches, motels, concerts, and nights spent under the South Padre moon and stars.

​

But life had other plans. Our story stretched far beyond the Texas coastline. It carried us across state lines—through Massachusetts and Rhode Island, down to Louisiana, and eventually to Michigan. Each place left its mark, adding distance, detours, and complications that neither of us could have imagined when we first met beneath that summer sky.

​

Decades passed. Separate marriages, children, heartbreaks, and healing filled the years. Yet those two weeks in 1987 never truly left either of us.

​

Until one day, a single message changed everything. A message turned into a phone call, a phone call into a reunion, and suddenly the miles and decades that once stood between us disappeared.

​

When Eddie and Paige reconnected thirty-five years later, old feelings surged back to life. But this time, they weren’t teenagers. They were adults with scars, regrets, and responsibilities. Across the miles between Texas and Michigan, they found themselves caught in a breathtaking reunion that dared them to believe in second chances.

​

We chose to write this book because our story isn’t just about us. It’s about love that refuses to fade, about the winding roads life takes us down, and about the hope of second chances. From Texas to Massachusetts, Rhode Island to Louisiana, and finally Michigan—our journey proves that love knows no borders.

​

1987: An Unfinished Love Story is more than a memoir. It’s a testament to real love, real life, real tears, real smiles, and real hope. It’s a story for all of us—because sometimes the greatest love stories are the ones that take the longest to find their way home.
