Till Tomorrow Never Comes by A W Anthony revolves around Kurt Kellerman, a 65-year-old man diagnosed with terminal cancer, who reflects on his life, particularly his past relationship with Mary Johnson. As he undergoes treatment, he is overcome with feelings of guilt about his marriage to Meghan, which began without love. Through therapy, he confronts unresolved emotional issues stemming from his youth and the lasting impact of his relationship with Mary, which was affected by familial disapproval and miscommunication. As Kurt comes to terms with terminal illness, he discovers that Mary is now divorced. This revelation forces him to reconcile his lingering feelings for her with his loyalty to his wife Meghan, against a desire for a second chance with Mary. When the past collides with the present, a moral dilemma about love, commitment, and the potential consequences for Kurt's family comes to a head.

In A W Anthony’s Till Tomorrow Never Comes, readers are treated to a thoughtful look at love, loss, and faith, all wrapped tidily in a simple and straightforward storyline. This is Christian fiction but, as a non-Christian reader, I found Anthony quite skilled in allowing Christian themes to subtly enhance the narrative in an organic, unobtrusive way, making it accessible even for those outside the faith. The pacing of the story moves at a slower speed and occasionally the daily minutiae, like how characters fall asleep, is the cause of that. Still, it does invite a reflection from the reader that definitely leans more toward literary fiction than typical Christian romance. I genuinely believe this book would make a great book club read as its ending is going to raise some excellent conversations on whether or not Kurt made the best choice. Ultimately, the story shares the enduring impact of first love, encouraging us to ponder “what would you do” on our own unfulfilled dreams and connections. Recommended.
