Summary
What does it cost to save someone from themselves? And what happens when your past refuses to stay buried? Author Marguerite Nardone Gruen joins us to unpack The Madness of March , a gripping love story set against the chaos of college basketball where addiction, fame, and a devastating secret collide. From a career in global inventory management to crying at her keyboard over characters she never expected to create, Marguerite's journey to becoming an author is as unexpected and compelling as the stories she tells. Grab your copy on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or at authormargueritegruen.com — and don't sleep on her trilogy, The Band Four.
