The Last Moran

Sometimes what seems to be an innocent lie can mushroom into something with distressing consequences. And sometimes that very same lie can inspire a series of events that will transform the lives of many people in positive ways. So it was with Mary Reagan’s well-intentioned, but misguided deception. Mary’s son, Michael, has grown up believing that his father was a war hero who lost his life in Iraq—but was he really? When the hidden truth is finally revealed, the boy, the mother, and the real father will open their souls with all the emotion that make us human. Pat McGauley’s ninth novel is written with passion, humor and narrative force. The Last Moran weaves two love stories in a page-turning masterpiece that will take the reader on a ride from Minnesota to Florida and back again…with Father Mickey Moran back in the thick of a confounding circumstance of his own making.
