Election Night
A Love Story
Election Night seems ripped from today's headlines, as its characters discuss current political and social questions from different vantage points, and some act on motives familiar to today's discerning observers of national and world events. The threat of violence looms in the background, where a deeply divided nation struggles to come to grips with the cruel policies of those in authority. In the midst of this divide, Sam, a musician appalled at what the election has brought to power, and Ashley, a nurse from a very wealthy and ideologically-driven family that approves of the results, pursue a relationship that grows in trust while everyone around them doubts their ability to stay together. But for Sam, the consequences may be extreme, when he finds himself drawn into a web of danger where risking his life is the only way out.
——Quotes
“From a review of MacDonald's first novel, The Open Mike: "The author, a renowned folk singer and integral part of the 80s folk revival in Greenwich Village, captures the neighborhood’s nuances perfectly - the sounds, the smells, the long dark wandering journeys into dawn – while imparting the sometimes dynamic, frequently scattershot and mundane but always compelling realities of Reo’s crazy, chosen world....The Open Mike is truly a music-driven novel for the ages and a great extension of MacDonald’s already prolific creative output." ”
“From a review of The American Guerillas: The American Guerillas deftly weaves together elements of magical realism, romance, and action/adventure in an original and entertainingly compelling read from cover to cover......especially and unreservedly recommended for community library collections. ”
