The Year I Secretly Loved You

By: Jerry T Whitefield Jr

Narrated by: James Johnson

At sixteen, Lucy Collins is more comfortable with textbooks and bruised knees than with fluttering hearts.

But one fateful collision in the corridors of St. Edward’s Academy changes everything—her books scatter, her pulse stumbles, and Isaac Thompson’s disarming smile lights a spark she can’t ignore.

What begins as a fleeting moment becomes a quiet awakening, a tender unraveling of a girl learning what it means to feel deeply for the first time.

Through secret glances, diary confessions, and the bittersweet ache of growing up, Lucy’s world transforms from orderly certainty to the unpredictable rhythm of first love.

Years later, when the snow falls again and old classmates reunite, she’ll discover that some emotions never truly fade—they only settle, glowing softly beneath the frost of time.

The Year I Secretly Loved You is a wistful, coming-of-age love story that captures the ache and innocence of youth, where memory itself becomes the most enduring romance.
