“Wonderfully crafted and beautifully written,
this is a tale certain to engage and enthrall."
"All the Rest of Her Days is a poignant and provocative tale that touches our hearts as well
as our minds. Jane McCarthy's epic-like, multi-generational saga confronts its characters
with difficult choices that challenge their sensibilities in a way that's every bit the equal of
such genre stalwarts as Judith Guest and Alice Hoffman. Wonderfully crafted and
beautifully written, this is a tale certain to engage and enthrall." Jon Land
BOOK SIGNING EVENTS
Due to Corona Virus, all public book fairs
for summer and fall have been canceled.
I have always been an avid reader preferably
accompanied by a cold glass of Pinot Grigio. As a
Registered Nurse I learned much about the human
response to sadness and joy. Friendships are
important to me. I admire loyalty, integrity and a
sense of humor which are the framework of who I
am. I rarely say “No” to a request especially if it
comes from one of my three daughters or from my
seven grandchildren. My husband and I have
travelled extensively. I began writing in my 60s
when a cousin in Ireland relayed her life story about
her adopted son.
I turned my cousin’s true story into a fictionalized
novel, All the Rest of Her Days. The work is rich
with detail: Maggie, the main character, is
courageous, a survivor and self -reliant.—attributes
to which I aspire.
Maggie's strength comes through in each chapter. Her
love of family, her acceptance of loss and her
acknowledgement of guilt are threaded throughout the
novel. People write about what they know and I have
infused characteristics which I admire such as self-
reliance and being a survivor into Maggie. Subsequently,
I have adapted some of Maggie's strengths that came out
in the writing such as acceptance and acknowledgement.
Currently, I am writing a second novel. In this one,
however, the main character is male. I look forward to
seeing how he develops. Perhaps I’ll see some of me in
him. I’m looking forward to the continuing conversations
I have with myself as the story develops.

My next book during WWII with two main characters.
It’s an extraordinary story of a young German and an
American soldier caught up in a war. Editing to be
finished over the summer.
