Produktbeschreibung
Jenny Longworth's recent marriage to widower David Perry is tested on multiple fronts. Despite her efforts to adapt to living in Europe, she experiences increasing bouts of homesickness. Beyond the continuing challenge of adjusting to a new country and a new language, Jenny must define her role as stepmother to two young adults. Jenny suspects David's son Marc has a drug addiction, but David defends Marc's behavior as a "passing phase." When his daughter Delphine gets into financial difficulty, David's protective instincts run counter to Jenny's views on accountability. As David and Jenny struggle to negotiate their differences, their challenge is heightened by David's retirement and financial pressures of their own, leading them to consider repatriating to the US. In this sequel to Judge Not, author Lee Lowry completes her trilogy of mid-life love and second marriage with an intimate account of the give and take essential to a healthy relationship.
Autorenporträt
Lee Lowry is a former community activist and political consultant. Like her fictional counterpart, Lowry gave up a successful career in Boston and moved to Europe to help an old love cope with his grief after the loss of his wife to cancer. IF YOU NEEDED ME is the first book of a trilogy inspired by Lowry's personal experiences as an expatriate, second wife and step-parent.Lowry lived in Switzerland for seven years before retiring with her husband to California in 2008. "We were planning to back to Massachusetts, but we quickly realized, for reasons of space and physical layout, that my home in Boston was not well suited for a retired couple. Its shortcomings gave us a remarkable opportunity, motivating us to define together the ideal house and ideal community - not his, not mine, but ours.
