There’s a first time for everything. First time away from home. First college party. First kiss.It’s 1975, and Mark Jenson arrives on a small liberal arts campus with a manual Royal typewriter, no car, and no idea who he’s supposed to become. On his third day there, he chases down a nervous blonde named Jean after breakfast, and he can’t stop thinking about her.What starts as walks around campus and Ping-Pong games in the dorm slowly grows into something neither of them has felt before. Between classes, internships, and part-time jobs, they write letters in cursive, sealed with a kiss, and wait their turn at the pay phone at the end of the hall. But doubt, jealousy, and the pressure of building a future keep pulling at them. Can a love this young really last?Getting to Know You: Discovering First Love in the Seventies is told through Mark’s eyes and Jean’s private journal entries. It is a tender, nostalgic story of two young people figuring out who they are and who they might become together. It is also a return to a simpler time, when people talked face-to-face and a handwritten letter could say everything.Step back into the seventies and fall in love all over again.
