Gonzo E. Jay's Rafer Series Explores Love, Faith, and Growing Up with Heart and Honesty
California, USA - Author Gonzo E. Jay delivers a deeply moving two-volume young adult romance series that explores first love, heartbreak, and the courage to begin again. In Rafer Thin and its sequel Rafer Goes All In, readers follow the unforgettable journey of Rafer Sandoval, a young Latino Mormon growing up in 1970s California. His story captures the beauty and pain of finding one's identity while navigating love, faith, and the expectations of family and culture.
In Rafer Thin, Rafer experiences the excitement and confusion of first love. His green Mustang, small-town life, and faith-driven upbringing set the stage for a coming-of-age story full of warmth and realism. When love challenges his beliefs, Rafer must learn that growing up isn't about perfection. It's about learning to trust his heart without losing himself. The book paints an authentic portrait of youth, exploring the emotions that come with discovering who you are and who you want to be.
Rafer Goes All In continues Rafer's emotional journey, showing what happens after heartbreak. Through new friendships and a slow, honest connection with Pamela Truitt, Rafer learns that healing is its own kind of love story. The novel captures themes of faith, forgiveness, and emotional recovery, offering readers hope that even broken hearts can find peace again.
Across both books, Gonzo E. Jay combines honesty and compassion to create a timeless story that resonates with readers of all ages. The Rafer series reminds us that love's most powerful form isn't perfection. It's growth, patience, and understanding.

About the Author:
Gonzo wrote about the watershed years in California following the civil rights upheaval and war
protests of the sixties. In the early years of the seventies decade, what you looked like or what you did mattered more than who you were. Under these circumstances, the young Mormon Latino attempted to break through the barriers of race, society and culture in his community. His greatest test was convincing the girl he loved to love him for who he was and what he could become. Rafer and Jenny dared to challenge their world and the judgment of their love. Rafer received a lot of validation from driving a muscle car, which was very popular in the car culture of California.
