Macy
Independent…or Alone? Neither is what she hoped it would be.
Macy longed for independence her whole life. Maybe marrying Arthur to escape her home hadn’t been the best plan, but it seemed good enough at the time. Now, pregnant and abandoned in a diner far from anyone she knows, Macy must start life all over again. Relying on the mercy of the diner’s owners, she begins to put things back together. Macy must make her own decisions for the first time in her adult life but it isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. And with the too-alluring Toby at her side instead of her husband, she’s discovering those decisions harder to make than ever.
All too soon the illusion of freedom comes crashing down when she realizes her family back home might lose everything if she doesn’t return. She’d married Arthur to get away from those responsibilities, so how can she face ending up where she started?
With her grandmother’s lessons on faith coming to mind again for the first time in years, Macy has to learn what freedom really is…and which road will lead her to where she ought to have been all along.
Praise for Macy
♡ Macy, penned by April McGowan, is more than a page turner. I literally felt compelled to keep reading and couldn’t put it aside until I finished. The story, written in first person, drew me into the heroine’s world, kept me rooting for her, and sent my emotions on a roller coaster ride. (Amazon Review)
♡ I’m not sure that I have ever read a contemporary novel quite as complex, riveting and inspirational as “Macy” by April McGowan. I had thoroughly enjoyed McGowan’s first novel, “Jasmine.” I absolutely loved “Macy” and did not want to put it down once I started. (Amazon Review)
♡ What a beautifully told, gripping story of a young woman putting her life back together after a painful relationship has made her question her worth. Engaging, raw yet gently done, real but not overwhelming. I enjoy a story that makes me ask myself “what would I do if I were in her shoes?” and this story fits the bill. Excellent storytelling. April McGowan is on my list of writers to watch. (Amazon Review)
♡ Macy is unquestionably 5 star worthy. A great book from a great author. April makes me feel like I know her characters personally. Macy is as strong as she is human. Can’t wait for another book. Truly and author to watch! (Amazon Review)
♡ If you want a contemporary read that gets down to the grittiness of real life then this is a book you don’t want to miss. It is a page turner from the get go and you won’t put it down until finished. It deals with the messiness of family secrets and bad choices that dictate the destiny of Macy, until she reaches out in Faith to the One who can help her make the right choices. It is written with depth, tenderness, and sensitivity and delves into abuse. The characters are realistic and I know this from experience. It will make you weep and leave you wanting a sequel.
