What would you give up for the people you love?
When Megan Taylor, a single mother and artist living on Cape Cod, receives the shocking news that her cancer has returned, she’s faced with the most difficult decision she’s ever had to make. The love she has for her daughter, Olivia, and her closest friends will be stretched and frayed.
Megan’s illness reawakens the torment of her best friend, Holly Townsend, whose long-held secrets and years of betrayal come back to haunt her. How does one choose between a daughter and a life-long best friend? Can the secret she has been keeping be revealed after years of lying without destroying everyone in its wake?
Meanwhile, fourteen-year-old Olivia’s world is falling apart right before her eyes, and there’s nothing she can do about it. She finds herself acting in ways she cannot even begin to understand. When her internal struggles turn to dangerous behavior, even the paranormal connection she shares with her mother might not be enough to save her – her life will hang in the balance.
Megan’s Way is a journey of self discovery and heartfelt emotions, exploring the depth of the mother-daughter bond, and the intricacies of friendship.
Melissa Foster’s debut novel is an intimate portrait of an ailing mother’s (Megan) relationship with her daughter and her small group of close friends as she attempts to prepare everyone for when she is gone. Be warned, it is a tearful portrait. Ms. Foster’s language is simple but the story is complex. The reader has the opportunity to share in Megan’s struggles and her daughter Olivia’s internal conflict of wanting to be with her mother every second yet pulling away in anger. It is typical teenage behavior and my favorite part of the book. The story also explores how there are life-changing secrets even among friends. Megan’s Way may make you reflect on your own relationships and think how you would prepare to lose someone you love.
