A heartbroken aunt. A wounded boy. A miracle that only prayer could bring.

As Long As It Takes is a poignant short story of prayer, perseverance, and unconditional love, inspired by Psalm 55:17—“Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.”

Geraldine “Dinny” Malone is a faithful Apostolic woman in her late fifties, seasoned by decades of heartache and hope. She has buried a child, survived widowhood, and watched her son drift from truth after unspeakable loss. But nothing prepares her for the phone call that will change everything: her baby sister and brother-in-law have been killed in a fiery crash, and their seven-year-old son, Travis, is fighting for his life in a burn unit three hundred miles away.

Dinny drops everything and drives through the night to sit by the boy’s hospital bed. For sixteen days, she keeps a prayer vigil—through every complication, setback, and silent hour of waiting. She misses her sister’s funeral. She endures emotional and physical collapse. But she refuses to leave until there is a sign from Heaven. Every morning, every evening, and every time fear threatens to overwhelm her, Dinny lifts her voice to God.

Told with lyrical tenderness and Apostolic conviction, As Long As It Takes is a story of grief, healing, and spiritual legacy. It explores the weight of generational trauma, the power of Pentecostal intercession, and the fierce love of a woman who knows what it means to stand in the gap. Through flashbacks, prayers, and hospital bedside scenes, readers witness the collision of tragedy and faith—and the quiet miracle that follows.

This is a work of Apostolic fiction that resonates with readers of all ages, especially those who have experienced loss, spiritual warfare, or the long road of loving someone back to life. With its rich characters and message of hope, As Long As It Takes offers more than a story—it offers a testimony.

Perfect for readers of Christian fiction, short stories of faith, and those who understand the long road of healing and hope.
