About M.K. Feese
Can a former engineer and retired librarian find happiness as a writer? This one can.
Marcia’s fascination with the written word began as a child and her professional life always involved a degree of writing, including newsletters and local newspaper articles. Her alter ego is Minglement, a term which denotes an eclectic mix, a jumble of many genres, many voices.
Observation and empathy shape her stories and poems. Writing, photography, and art fill the nooks and crannies between home and family. All provide fodder and inspiration for her writing.
She has published articles, short stories, and poems in regional and local publications such as art magazine, Mississi Crow, and the Internet. She has also enjoyed ghostwriting, primarily for blogs and travel agencies.
Her second novel is ‘KaleidESCAPE’, a tale of runaway teens in 1989, and their parents terrifying ordeal as they search for them. No one could have guessed the outcome. Published under her own imprint, ‘Cats Eye Press', it was released in 2014.

My Thoughts
Given the reversal of Roe v Wade this was a perfectly timed read.
As an adoptee, I completely identified with Lily.
As a mom, I understood Lorraine’s fear of letting Wendy get too involved with Lily.
Ms. Feese did a great job not only creating the characters but the dynamic surrounding them. It made me care about them and want them to find a way to have a relationship.
The spiritual thread wasn’t lacking nor was it overwhelming. Ms. Feese wove it in beautifully.
The open ending left a clear path to a sequel. Which I really hope she writes!
