MacGregor's Final Battle
“Everybody dies. What counts is how you live.”
Donald MacGregor had months to live. The monster that would end his life – brain cancer. His response was a final adventure.
Kate Graham was cook, cashier, and waitress the night he stopped at a St. Louis diner for a late meal. She decided to take an extended vacation and join his tour of America.
Their stories unfold as they follow Lewis and Clark across the Great Plains to the Pacific Ocean and then push on to Fairbanks where Mac has a distant cousin. His life has been a success but his greatest achievements have been overtaken by events. She was a brilliant student who focused her energies on big, abusive athletes. One of them put her in a hospital and sent her life on a downward spiral.
In this saga of death and redemption, their battle for his life turns hers around.
“… an elderly man’s contemporary odyssey across the country….” – Kirkus Reviews
“… A touching slice-of-life story about a man’s determination to live life on his own terms, MacGregor’s Final Battle is a bittersweet odyssey you don’t want to end. … an engrossing romantic drama…”
