In A Very Good Life, Book 1 in the Dana McGarry Series, we are introduced to Dana McGarry, a young woman who reinvents herself in the 1970s world of fashion. But like the elegant and conservative store that employs her, Dana is caught between two eras - professionally and romantically - and must chose between playing by the rules and being a maverick. #Books #DanaMcGarrySeries #womensfiction

From Book 1...“Wills!” Dana called. “Come back! Please!” She took the end of the leash and noticed that the metal clasp was worn. The spaniel sprinted on its short legs, its wide furry ears flapping against its head as it enjoyed newfound freedom on the crowded sidewalk of Park Avenue. “Wills!” Dana cried. “Someone stop him!” In the distance, Dana could see Wills fast approaching the busy traffic at the corner of 37th Street and Park. #DanaMcGarrySeries #womensfiction #books

In A Very Good Life, Book 1 in the Dana McGarry Series, a young women is tested......excerpt from the book "Startled, Brett jerked his head forward. The voice belonged to Janice Conlon, the firm’s junior litigator. Brett stopped in his tracks and surveyed the five-foot-ten leggy blond dressed in tight jeans and a turtleneck . Long straight hair splashed across her shoulders, and her deep blue eyes gazed at Brett above high angular cheekbones." #DanaMcGarrySeries #booksforwomen #womensfiction

In A Very Good Life, Book 1 in the Dana McGarry Series, a free spirit woman targets Dana's conservative lifestyle, just for the fun of it. Excerpt....“And this must be Dana,” Janice commented, picking up a framed picture of Brett’s wife. “Matching coats,” she said as she eyed Dana’s camel hair polo coat in the picture and then the one Brett had dropped on his couch. “Cute.” In reality, Janice didn’t think Dana was anything but bland, boring, and all too perfect. #DanaMcGarrySeries #books

In Lynn Stewards debut novel A Very Good Life, Abby Kempf casually enters Dana's world but has a major effect on Dana's life. Excerpt....“I hope we’ll visit in New York,” Dana said. “It’s been a lovely lunch.," Abby merely nodded, smiled, and left. Dana sensed a very mysterious air surrounding this woman. It was also strange that, aside from a brief reference to her mother-in-law, there was no mention of her husband or marriage. #DanaMcGarrySeries #books #womensfiction #booksforwomen

In A Very Good Life, Book 1 in the Dana McGarry Series, Dana's confidant Andrew is hiding a truth so someone can live a lie. Excerpt..." It was clear that Estée Lauder did not wish to be kept waiting any longer. I really should wait until Mr. Neimark arrives before I show you the counter,” Andrew stated, “but—” “Mr. Ricci,” Ms. Lauder began, “there’s only one issue here. May I have the first display on the left, assuming you can tell me where Revlon will be ?” #DanaMcGarrySeries…
