What Might Have Been: A Dana McGarry Novel

Vol. 2 in the Dana McGarry Series.
An often engaging story about a young female professional making her way in the world, and an interesting examination of love and what can happen to it. â€”Kirkus Reviews

When Dana McGarry discovered her husband was cheating, it came as a shock and, strangely, a relief. Though devasted, the transgression gave her the out she secretly yearned for â€“ the chance to leave her privileged but unfulfilled life behind and strive forward on an ambitious career path as a buyer at a glamorous New York department store.

But this is the 1970s and, while the womenâ€™s movement has momentum, unmarried women are still finding their way. Dana is a tastemaker, her keen instinct for fashion trends and innovative ideas coupled with a razor sharp business sense. But like the elegant and conservative store that employs her, Dana is caught between two erasâ€”between being liked and standing her ground, between playing by the rules and being a maverick.

Dana has an ingenueâ€™s charm, but what you see is not what you get. Behind the self-effacing facade, Dana is both driven by her desire to succeed yet impeded by her conservative upbringing. As she competes to replace imperious women at the top of their game, she must connive a way around them. And as she encounters a wealthy love interest who wants to open doors and support her ambition, she embraces Coco Chanelâ€™s mantra of â€œnever wanting to weigh more heavily on a man than a bird.â€ What price is Dana will to pay in her quest for independence?

Steward captures the nuances of 70s life in New York City and provides the perfect backdrop for an independent young woman determined, against all odds, to make her mark. What Might Have Been is a story that transcends any period.
