STORY LINE DRIVING MISS CRAZY:
Romance novel, Driving Miss Crazy, is a fun-filled romp of laughter, fun, missteps, and love. Widower, Adrian Adams, is raising his seven-year old daughter, Charlie.

As a result, he secures a placement at the Irish Embassy driving Miss Maggie McNally, the Ambassadors granddaughter. Consequently, his life changes from placid and boring to rip-roaring.
Maggie McNally has spent her life trying to fit into her political families life of international diplomacy. She can’t seem to find her niche. Disaster follows Maggie through life and employment with the diplomatic division; and then you have the squirrels she attracts. Is Maggie talking to the squirrels or what! Can Maggie pull off her grandmothers latest assignment? Will disaster follow again? Is Adrian driving Miss Crazy or is she the most unusual and caring woman in the world?
