I am pleased today to present a review of At the Corner of Magnetic and Main by fellow Pen-L author, Meg Welch Dendler.
This gentle ghost story of life, death, and love takes place in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Penny is a kind, gentle ghost with a purpose. Everything in the diner at The Corner of Magnetic and Main is going along as it has for decades with Penny in charge of the transition from life to the afterlife when in walks Trouble in the form of biker ghost Jake. Penny is smitten but she refuses to admit that perhaps she has missed something during her years at the diner. Jake sets out to open Penny’s eyes to life beyond the diner. Jake’s final effort to change Penny’s mind about leaving the diner succeeds all too well and culminates in a satisfying ending to this unusual story.
I can safely say I’ve never read any other book similar to this one by Meg Welch Dendler. It is a love story and a ghost story, told with insight and empathy of what might be just beyond our sight and could easily be a part of our world that many of us have heard about but few of us have encountered.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Meg Dendler has considered herself a writer since she won a picture book contest in fifth grade and entertained her classmates with ongoing sequels for the rest of the year. Beginning serious work as a freelancer in the ’90s while teaching elementary and middle school, Meg has over one hundred articles in print, including interviews with Kirk Douglas, Sylvester Stallone, and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. She has won contests with her short stories and poetry, along with multiple international awards for her best-selling Cats in the Mirror alien rescue cat children’s book series.
At the Corner of Magnetic and Main is her first adult novel, but it won’t be her last. Meg and her family (including four cats and her dog, Max) live at 1,400 feet in the Ozark Mountains on what they call Serenity Mountain, just outside of Eureka Springs, Arkansas.
