We Continue to Exist

Emiri Tekakwitha

Everything between Lydia and Trevor felt magically natural from the moment he sat down across from her in the Widener Library. In each other, they discover an unexpected kind of hope, a transcendent friendship, and the odd familiarity that they'd done this all once before.

Over the course of a single night in Cambridge-through crowded parties, hushed streets, a front porch vision and a taxi ride revelation-they realize that there is no proof to show that you're in love, it's as simple as just knowing.

But as dawn approaches, so does their inevitable truth: tragedy rises with the sun.

A tender, fleeting love story about destiny, connection, past lives, and the bittersweetness of a first love. We Continue to Exist is an unforgettable tale of two ordinary souls stumbling into something extraordinary, as a beautiful night slips quietly into a memory.


We Continue to Exist is Emiri Tekakwitha's debut novel-an intimate and lyrical story written in under twenty-four hours. The words poured out with urgency, becoming a story she has long carried and is finally ready to share with the world.
