Before I Go Header

Eastport, Maine, 1969. Frank Happy lives in a world that is anything but. His overbearing father strikes fear in his family's collective hearts and frank dreams of being free from his control.

​

Claire Giroux is a young woman whose hopes are pinned on becoming a hospital nurse. Her family is the opposite of Frank's–supportive, encouraging, and loving.

​

A decade later, Frank and Claire's worlds collide and the outcome is one that will change their lives forever.

Before I Go has captivating characters and fast-moving action in an ideal setting. Before you can blink there is a fight, a car crash, and a romance. Marilyn K Blair has a gift, not just telling a story, but for making you feel a part of the story. You’ll feel the highs and lows, the ins and outs of life, and you'll relive significant moments of what we have all faced. You’ll be moved as you read, and your heart will be stirred for what we all long for.
