The Only Thing That Lasts
tyler Tichelaar
The Only Thing That Lasts is written as the autobiography of Robert O’Neill, the famous novelist first introduced in The Marquette Trilogy. As a young boy during World War I, Robert is forced to leave his South Carolina home to live in Marquette with his grandmother and aunt. He finds there a cold climate, but many warmhearted friends as he matures into adulthood and becomes a famous writer. The Only Thing That Lasts is a joyful, lighthearted, yet meaningful story of home and hearth.
Mr. Tichelaar says of this work, “The Only Thing That Lasts is the first novel I ever wrote. I wanted to write an old-fashioned novel in the style of Louisa May Alcott or L. Frank Baum’s Aunt Jane’s Nieces, or even Marquette’s own Carroll Watson Rankin, whose Dandelion Cottage first made Marquette the setting for a novel.”
