Megabyte Rush

By Wendy MacGown

Megan Rosswell wants nothing to do with marriage and family. Raised a strict Baptist and now a customer support analyst for a thriving minicomputer manufacturer, she craves the fast life: gourmet dinners, trips to far-off places, designer clothes and an educated man with which to share it. She surrenders her innocence to Donald Alexander, a smooth-talking pilot, who showers her with all the thrills that money can buy; yet can't forget Stan Zambinskyi, the handyman she'd longed for since childhood. The partying takes its toll, leaving her empty and exhausted. Then Donald is caught drunk on the job, refuses the airlines rehab program and is can only find work flying for a Columbian drug lord. A family tragedy forces her to take responsibility, not only for herself, but also for her sister's child. In the process of rearranging her life, she buys a Victorian, becomes a landlady and Stan's employer, and gives birth to Penny, an adorable baby girl. When Donald dumps a load and someone kidnaps Penny, she must fight for her very survival.Set in the minicomputer boom of the 1980s, Megabyte Rush captures a time when disk storage was king and working women discovered the true meaning of independence.
