Description/Synopsis:

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.

	iBookDB Review
	From the moment I received my copy of Megan's Way and read the back I was hooked. I'm known for being more of a romance reader-kind-of-girl but author Melissa Foster hooked me from the moment I read- What would you give up for the people you love?" In this heart wrenching debut the author hits us with one of lives most tragic events of a single mother dying with cervical cancer and the choices she makes. This isn't Megan's first time at the rodeo but it is her last. The character struggles with the ups and down of the disease that is wracking her desingrating body. Along the way her fourteen year old Olivia is living out her own drama of losing not only her mother but the one person she has depended upon all of her life. Also, her best friend comes into play and to fill in the role of surrogate mother as Megan slowly comes to terms with the choices she has made and knowing dieing is inevitable. Okay, I wasn't really sure what I would find between the pages of Megan's Way but what happened completely surprised me. I loved the fact that the author made me feel--I'm really big on feeling some kind of emotion as I read--a wide range of emotions from happy, sad, angry, and disappointed and yes somewhere in between I felt all warm and fuzzy inside. That's not saying that the characters were lack-lustered. the characters were enrich engrossing and compelled me to keep reading to see how this unique tale of a mother's love never dies even when the body is buried and gone. Ms. Foster took me on an endearing ride through a life of tragic and unspeakable challenge that if it where me I wouldn't and still can not answer the question-- What would you give up for the people you love? If I had to answer? My answer would be anything that would make them happy and more at peace with the fact I wasn't going to always be there. Reader my favorite part of the book had to do with Megan’s "sixth-sense" connection with her young daughter Olivia. I couldn’t help smile and compare how Megan had more than a “feeling” when Olivia was in trouble and needed her. As a mother of four teenage girls I was able to understand and feel not only Megan’s exasperation, but the undying love she has for her daughter. I highly recommend that you have a box or two of Kleenex handy because this is a tear jerker that is worth all the tears shed. Megan’s Way is beautifully written with heart-to-life characters that resonate long after you finish the book. Review By celticreign
