Amy Makechnie couldn’t wait until nap time.
She’d put her youngest daughter, Paige, down in the afternoons and sneak away to the computer. Then, for as long as her daughter slept, she’d write and write some more.
It was 2007 and the New Hampshire mother of four was just beginning an arduous 11-year journey that concluded with a literal storybook ending.
Simon and Schuster released ‘The Unforgettable Guinevere St. Clair’ in bookstores across the country Tuesday. And there, on the cover in the lower right hand corner, is the author’s name: Amy Makechnie.
It’s a youth novel about Guinevere, a 10-year-old who is determined to find her missing neighbor. But the answers lead to places and people she never expected.
Before I go any further, I’ll get this out in the open: Amy is my cousin. Every summer growing up, she and her family drove from Nebraska to visit our home in Utah, where water fights, hikes, late night movies and other adventures would commence.
