Rounding Third…

Marcy O'Brien writes with an eye for detail and a gift for putting you right there in the scene with her. Her deeply personal voice speaks with both wisdom and irreverent wit - the blessings of a well-lived life - evoking frequent smiles and even an occasional tear. In Rounding Third, her collection of columns and stories takes flight in the golden era of aviation, when flying was fun and the passenger was king. She brings you along on her lifetime of adventures, takes you into the heart of her family, and introduces you to some genuine characters along the way. Her love for people and insatiable curiosity lead to many unexpected discoveries: from kosher dill pickles to peonies in a French bar; from ZsaZsa Gabor's breakfast mink to geriatric romance.

She is more than just funny. She's fun. Spending time with Marcy always leaves you with the lasting warmth of a visit from an old friend.
