A forgotten veteran, a lost love, and a second chance decades in the making converge in a powerful story asking if love can survive time, trauma, and regret.
NEW YORK CITY, NY, UNITED STATES, February 27, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — In his emotionally resonant novel Always, author Andy M. Davidson delivers a moving exploration of love that refuses to fade, even after forty years. With a 4.9 out of 5 star rating from readers, the book blends romance, redemption, and raw humanity in a story that examines whether true love can endure the weight of time and hardship.
At the center of the novel is Sully, a forgotten war veteran and self described curmudgeon who has carried the memory of one woman throughout his life. Now working as a hospital custodian, Sully feels the heaviness of regret and isolation pressing in. What begins as an ordinary drive to work spirals into a moment of despair, as he contemplates ending his life. That downward turn is abruptly interrupted by a car accident along the highway.
As MaryAnne lies in a coma, Sully is forced to confront the years that slipped by and the choices that shaped his lonely existence. When she eventually awakens, so does something in him that he believed was long buried, hope. Their reunion rekindles memories of the Pocono Mountains, where they first fell in love more than forty years earlier. Yet the path forward is far from simple.
Standing between them is MaryAnne’s abusive fiancé, Jonesy, whose presence threatens both her safety and their fragile reconnection. Determined not to lose her again, Sully and MaryAnne attempt to reclaim the life they once imagined together. Their journey becomes one of courage, healing, and the willingness to risk everything for love.
Always examines the lingering effects of war, the quiet struggles of aging, and the redemptive power of human connection. Davidson portrays Sully not as a flawless hero, but as a deeply human man shaped by regret, resilience, and enduring devotion. Through intimate storytelling and emotional depth, the novel asks a timeless question: does true love endure?
Readers who appreciate character driven romance, stories of second chances, and narratives that balance heartbreak with hope will find Always both poignant and uplifting. The novel resonates with anyone who has wondered what might have been, and what still could be.
