The Fourth Sunrise

A Novel

Sometimes love doesn’t fade. Sometimes it smolders for decades...

Joel Murphy is sixty-four years old when he sits down in a small Colorado coffee shop to wait for the woman he has loved for more than forty years. They have met only a handful of times—brief, imperfect encounters stretched across a lifetime—but each meeting has left an indelible mark on his heart.

As the night unfolds, Joel begins telling his story: a summer in 1968, a broken-down bus, a small-town fair, and a young woman named Christine who changed everything. What begins as an innocent connection between two young souls soon becomes something far more complicated—shaped by timing, choices, distance, duty, and the quiet betrayals that life sometimes demands.

Told through alternating timelines, The Fourth Sunrise is a tender, deeply human love story about first love, missed chances, emotional fidelity, and the question that never truly goes away: What if?

This is not a whirlwind romance. It is a story about longing. About restraint. About the kind of love that refuses to die, even when it must remain unfinished.

Heartfelt, reflective, and profoundly intimate, The Fourth Sunrise is a novel for readers who believe that some love stories are meant to last a lifetime… even if they can never fully be lived.
