In No Longer Needed, Catherine meets a handsome, charismatic man at a disco, quits her job, travels with him through Mexico, then helps him start a business. What could go wrong?
For a young, ambitious feminist, the 1970s were not the good old days. Recently graduated from college and newly divorced, Catherine moves from the Midwest to the San Francisco Bay Area hoping to launch a new life. She believes she could climb the ladder to success if she works and studies hard, but she finds herself stuck in a boring, dead-end job as a bank teller. Finding a man who understands and supports her ambition seems impossible.
When she meets a charming man at a disco, she's intrigued, then hooked. Itching for adventure, she quits her job and takes off with him to visit his family in Mazatlán and travel across Mexico. With little money, they camp and stay in budget hotels along the way. During the trip, Catherine struggles with chronic illness while trying to adapt to the culture and understand the profound poverty she encounters. Clashes with her tradition-bound boyfriend cause her to question their future together. But Ramón dreams of starting a landscape business and the idea sparks an entrepreneurial streak Catherine didn't know she had.
No Longer Needed explores gender roles in a patriarchal marriage, the challenges of a husband and wife building a business together, and the devastating impact of domestic violence. In No Longer Needed, mistakes are made, red flags ignored, and hard lessons learned.
