Faithfully - Jack Morgan - Bog

For widower Steven Riley, dating in the 21st century was like navigating through unchartered waters. He soon learns that relationships in the New Age are swift, serious, and capricious. Therefore, rekindling an old flame, Susan Mitchell, his former high school sweetheart, seemed like a good way to cope with loneliness after his daughter, America Riley, marries then moves to another city. While Steven faces the melancholy of nostalgia, tantalized by the obsequiousness of Susan Mitchell, he finds that rekindling the golden moments with his first love comes at a cost. Haunted by the apparitions of Mercedes, his deceased wife, he must consequently choose between remaining faithful to Mercedes or to starting a new life with Susan. Meanwhile, America, and her soon to be husband, the prominent and intriguing young bachelor from Miami, Leonardo M. Satanas, will soon learn, as many newlyweds have, that newfound romances generally do not survive through the first season of this turbulent New Age. The young couple will be challenged by the temptations of infidelity and unarmed with naivety. On the contrary, Steven will soon realize that faithfulness has not evolved into a lost virtue, even in these Post-Modern times. For Steven, the test of faithfulness will become as present and as demanding today as it was when Mercedes was still alive. Caught between two worlds, his old-school sentiments and the opposition of contemporary dating standards, Steven will find himself in the center of a battle between two women who are fighting for him: mind, body, and soul. Will he choose to rekindle his old romance with Susan or will he remain faithful to his deceased wife forever? This is a metaphysical journey into faith and self-introspection, premised upon Steven's inquiry into the degradation of morality in America, his encounter with life after death, and a vow of everlasting love that may truly withstand the test of time.
