When Mom announces her plans to remarry, Mac is furious and runs away in an attempt to force her to break off the engagement.

    About the Author

    Gayle Rosengren grew up in Chicago, majored in creative writing in college, and worked for several years in the teen services department of her local library. She especially loved sharing her passion for reading, turning reluctant readers into enthusiastic ones by introducing each one to just the right book. Non-fiction or fiction. Mysteries, suspense, humor, historical, or―her particular favorite―survival stories, wherein the main character must call on every ounce of their strength to save themselves in a life-threatening situation.

    Given how much she enjoys reading survival stories, it was probably just a matter of time before she wrote one. MacKenzie’s Last Run is that story.

      The cover looks eerie. My 10 year old grandson likes to read books with action. He identifies with athletes and participates in sports.
