The Truth Has a Pulse

Some summers change everything. Some truths refuse to stay quiet.

Set against the salt-air streets and sunset beaches of Pensacola, The Truth Has a Pulse is a slow-burn young adult romance about first love, buried grief, and the moments that define who we become.

Caleb isn’t looking for love-he’s just trying to survive senior year without becoming another story people tell about him. Maria isn’t planning to stay-she’s counting the days until life makes sense again.

Through stolen glances, late-night conversations, photographs that capture more than they should, and a summer that feels impossibly short, they learn that some connections don’t fade easily-and some truths demand to be felt, not hidden.

Tender, funny, and emotionally honest, The Truth Has a Pulse is a coming-of-age story about finding your voice, holding onto hope, and discovering that even in uncertainty, the heart always leaves a signal.
