All for One - Love, War, & Ghostsis a tale of friendship, love, and youthful decisions that drive friends apart for decades. When the ghosts of Vietnam shove their way into the present, fear, uncertainty, and death follow. This book is already getting positive reviews from professionals: Publisher's Weekly reviewer for the 2025 BookLife Prize: "Written in a plainspoken, accessible tone, All For One is an easy read. The temporal shifts between the decades are smooth, thanks to a steady voice, providing continuity across the years and serving as a reminder of how a person's past will bleed into the present. While her writing makes sparse use of metaphor or lyrical imagery, McGuinn's words carry emotional resonance in the small details that serve to highlight the trauma of war, loss, and love without overstating these feelings." email from Andrew Gulli, managing editor of Strand Magazine I just finished the book, and I truly loved it. It's thoughtful, layered, and emotionally intelligent in a way that really stays with you. The tension works beautifully alongside the deeper themes - it's exactly the kind of novel our readers respond to. We'll be including it in our Spring Reading Guide.
