About the Book
The only child of Dallas and JoAnn McCarthy who have just died of a plane crash, mature beyond her years, Mary Ellen McCarthy must, with the help, gentle guidance, and unwavering love of her father’s business partner and his wife, become strong enough to make critical decisions about college, her home, romance, and her life. By the strengths within her character, she must be able to transcend the harshest of dire life circumstances. The book displays this process with an adeptness and delicacy ably done by the author.
Radical changes, profound love, joy, anger, and deep, immense sorrow are heaped upon this very beautiful young woman-child in the roller coaster ride through the next chapters of her life. Will she ever be able to find the kind of peace again that she’d had before that one tragic day? Will she ever be able to tell herself that she will actually be able to come home again once and for always? Maggie Ann Ross displays a skilfull psychological and romantic portrait of a young woman on the verge of becoming.
