Choices Made

About the Book

In a world turned upside down on the streets, Jamy MacGregor, a.k.a. Lord Chance, seeks stability when he enters a Witness Protection Program that relocates him to the hometown of his once sought after biological father. Placed in the home of the local sheriff, his father’s brother, Jamy struggles with the urge to reveal his true identity when he sees his life his father’s family lives while he craves acknowledgement and normalcy in his own life. Breaking the shackles of secrecy, Jamy confronts his father who adamantly rejects him and wants him out of town. Blowing his cover in Witness Protection, his father sends the killers straight to his brother’s front door, and Jamy. Retrieving Jamy from danger, the bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs (BNDD) Witness Protection Program returns him to St. Louis where he is forced to re-evaluate his future and face his step-father, the BNDD agent he has rejected. His past as a Street Lord fully revealed while testifying against the Drug Lords drives a wedge between them, which his reunion with his own toddler son complicates. His life a shambles, Jamy takes his child and runs, finding shelter with another MacGregor relative long exiled from the family. Learning the truth of his birth and given time to evaluate his life, Jamy decides that sometimes the best future is one with a new name and no past.

About the Author

Christine McMahon enjoys the process of writing and took on the difficulty of a series with her very first book, Choices Made: The Street Years. Book 2 of the series entitled Choices Made: Fathers and Sons takes her character Jamy MacGregor further along in his life.

“Through Jamy’s hardships in the first book, his character kept coming to me. I never had a problem with knowing who he is and again, in this, my second book, Jamy has been taking me along on his story. His troubles with his step-father and biological family are an integral part of him as was his trouble on the streets. I am preparing the manuscript for Book 3 and his story just keeps coming.”

What Midwest Book Review said of Book 1: “Choices Made: The Street Years is the debut novel of Christine McMahon and clearly establishes her as a gifted storyteller able to take her reader into a gritty world of drug addiction, poverty, and life on the street.”

Christine and her husband, Joe, live in rural Wisconsin.

“Thank you for your interest in Choices Made: Father and Sons and I hope you will continue to join Jamy in Choices Made: Missouri or Misery (upcoming).”
