April Snow (Dana McGarry Novel Book 2)

by Lynn Steward

At the cutting edge of women’s fashion in the 1970s, an underestimated young woman leaves a broken marriage and her lethal charm goes to work to remake retail, and herself, at New York’s most glamorous department store. Newly single, Dana McGarry learns she must divorce herself from more than a bad marriage to succeed. Not only must she prove to overly protective family and friends that she can make it on her own, but she also must challenge an antagonistic boss who keeps standing in her way. Moving out of her comfort zone and into the arms of a dynamic businessman, Dana bets it all on a daring new move that will advance her career, But at what price? Her dreams within reach, Dana’s world is shattered in a New York minute when a life is threatened, a secret is revealed, and her heart is broken.

The series follows Dana McGarry’s rise in the fashion industry from a buyer at the legendary B. Altman department store to the youngest woman owner of a couture house on Seventh Avenue. It may be the dawn of the women’s movement, but, in the world of women’s fashion, there’s no sisterly-love and Dana is stymied by an unyielding boss. In her personal life, not unlike Coco Chanel, Dana’s wealthy suitors open doors and opportunities to further her career, and, like Chanel, Dana “never wanted to weigh more heavily on a man than a bird.”

Intermingling fashion legends, iconic business women, real events, and untold stories of that time, The Dana McGarry Series is rich with historic content. In Dana’s world are spirited multi-generational women who are determined to make their mark, and conflicted men who are keeping up appearances with secrets, lies, deception, and manipulation.
