THE LAST STAND is Released

GLEN GARDNER, N.J.

Three young adults rise above their less-than-ideal home lives in the new novel from author Maryann Bouco, "The Last Stand" (published by WestBow Press).

Marge, Judy and Danny come from environments that are less-than-desirable. Somehow, after they each endure their own crises - including unplanned pregnancy, family conflicts, robbery and loneliness - they decide to make positive life changes and escape the patterns of misfortune that seemingly befell them during their years of growing up.

"It's a story about lifelike people with lifelike struggles, who overcome their struggles in practical, good ways," Bouco says of her book. "We can make our lives better by simply making a choice to live our lives for the better, according to God's ways."

Bouco hopes her book will inspire readers, young and old, to reach for higher aspirations and continue along paths of positive change until they achieve their goals.

About the Author
As a product of the ?60s and ?70s, Maryann Bouco has a familiarity with not only the era, but also the problems that came with growing up in those days. She has been writing for many years, both professionally in the business world and in the nonprofessional world for purposes of enjoyment. Besides her passion for writing, she has a great interest in encouraging and influencing people to know and seek God and His will for their lives.
