Author

While We’re Here is a 2025 coming‑of‑age novel by Tre Manchester, under pen name T.A. Manchester, published by Henry Gray Publishing, based in Granada Hills, California. [8] Set against the backdrop of small‑town America, While We’re Here explores themes of grief, forgiveness, resilience, and the bonds of family. Morgan confronts legacy wounds passed down through generations, learning that healing rarely follows a straight path—and that sometimes the bravest act is simply showing up. Highlighted by critics and early readers as “a deeply emotional journey through grief, forgiveness, resilience, and the unbreakable ties of family,” the novel is described as “Friday Night Lights meets Ordinary People”.

The book is set for release on September 4, 2025 via major book retailers in paperback, hard cover, and e‑book editions. [9]
