About the book
Three novellas: “The Invitation” (A Montgomery/Taggert Family Story) “Matchmakers” (A Montgomery/Taggert Family Story) “A Perfect Arrangement” (A Standalone Story) “The Invitation” Jackie O'Neill was a daredevil pilot and a true American heroine...a woman so beautiful men stopped in their tracks to watch her walk down the street, her long confident strides eating up the earth. After years of nonstop excitement -- of traveling around the globe in a chaotic rags-to-riches-to-rags whirl with her late husband, Charley -- Jackie had returned to Eternity, Colorado, near her hometown of Chandler.
