Fairytales, Prince Charming, and happily-ever-after filled Margie’s childhood dreams. But real life often tells a different story.

In college, Margie meets a thoughtful and inspiring psychology professor who changes the course of her life. Though their connection is undeniable, he sets clear boundaries and encourages her to pursue relationships with people closer to her age.

Years later, Margie falls in love with a younger man and builds a life with him. But when that marriage ends, she lets go of her dreams of fairytale romance and prepares herself for a life of independence.

Then one day, an unexpected letter arrives reopening a chapter of love she believed had long since ended.

Because He Loved Me is a deeply moving memoir about love, fate, second chances, and the unexpected ways life brings people back together.
