CLEARWATER, Fla., Sept. 2, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- As America's political divide widens into an unbridgeable chasm, many citizens are brainstorming ways to blaze a more progressive trail. In The Only Love that Lasts: the Fall of Conservative Thinking (now available through AuthorHouse), Bryan McGuire tells the story of two people aspiring to reach political heights while setting the pace for a brave new country.
When young Father Jack Kelly's eyes catch those of Chau, an Asian beauty, his mother warns him that his soul will be doomed to eternal damnation. Love prevails, however, and Jack realizes an important truth in his life: "Men pretend they don't need anything. Truth is, we are only half of life looking for the other half." He soon leaves the church to follow his heart into a world of romance and danger.
A newfound commitment to make a difference in the political realm has also surfaced in Jack's life. He soon develops a plan that is sure to eliminate the power of money in the nation's capital, increase voter turnout to 100 percent and maintain a 100 percent employment rate throughout the country. In the process, conservatism will meet its doom and the road will be paved for the first woman president. Lofty goals, to be sure, but love can make a man take on incredible challenges.
The captivating and dynamic plot whisks the reader from Buffalo, N.Y., where the story begins amid warm Irish humor, to the violent streets of Saigon during the Vietnam War to, ultimately, a suspenseful terrorist attack in Washington, D.C.
East meets West in The Only Love that Lasts, an imaginative escapade into politics, philosophy and true love.
