Controlling Shelly Fagan

By Olive Dunn

People disappear but the feelings remain. Love remains.
Controlling Shelly Fagan is a riveting romance novel wherein the main character must come to terms with her past. A past that was controlled by her parents during a generation in which social mores dominated women and were at times painfully enforced. The idea young women of the 60's had so little control over their destinies is stunning and with Dunn's superb writing, the reader will be swept away in this intense journey of love, self-discovery, and forgiveness.

Raised in a small Indiana town where her father was the mayor, Shelly gave her heart and her innocence to her brother's best friend. Suddenly she found her world collapsing around her and was forced to grow up very quickly in the midst of the Vietnam War.

Jump to 1986. Shelly is married to the father of her two young sons. She unexpectedly comes face to face with the truth when she discovers her parents lied-betrayed her when she was just seventeen. Now Shelly is left trying to piece her life back together knowing nothing is how it seemed.

Does Shelly go on with her life as it is or as it was? Can she ever forgive her parents who cheated her out of a life with the one she so passionately loved?

A captivating, unforgettable love story, Olive Dunn restores glory to the romance genre with this intense and provocative debut novel. Grab your copy today and be transported back to 1967- a year of music, sex, freedom, laughter, love, and Vietnam.
