As Long As He Needs Me

They Thought They Were Getting a Vacation. Their Marriage Might Not Survive It. In honor of their thirty-fifth wedding anniversary, Kitty and Clem Johanssen set off on what's supposed to be a dream vacation: a gracious cruise up the East Coast from New York to Montreal. But in a hectic rush to embark, Clem foolishly loses his cash to a couple of street swindlers. Unbeknownst to Kitty, the incident sets off a profound introspection of Clem's weaknesses, regrets, and mortality - amplified by the sudden appearance of his old war buddy-turned-politician, T. McCollough Boyle, during a shore excursion. As Clem grows more distant throughout the trip, Kitty falls in with an attractive - and mysterious - Englishman named Toby Knight, who offers everything Clem doesn't: grace, charm and hopefulness. Now, the slowly smoldering confrontations of the last three decades - the deep-seated resentments, half-buried insecurities and burning passions - will surface in a confrontation so powerful it will test the limits of the couple's love. At once unsettling and compassionate, As Long as He Needs Me is a psychological novel of faith, memory, love and the unyielding supremacy of time.

Quite by accident, Meggie Dawson stumbles across an amazing stick as a child, an intriguing object that, all her life, often intervenes on her behalf, pointing her in the right direction. She is desperately in love with her stepbrother, Josh Hawkins, no relation, and he loves her too. But feeling a call from God, he leaves their Connecticut home and becomes a priest, joins the Jesuits, and is sent to Africa as a missionary. Meanwhile, Meggie, although heartbroken, marries Josh's best friend, Ben Brown; has three children; and is reasonably happy. Until Josh, finally realizing he can't change the world, leaves the priesthood after twenty-five years and goes home, hoping to return to the arms of Meggie, who is sorely tempted. It is an absorbing tale of faith and love, with more than a touch of magic.
