When Marguerite Nardone Gruen finished the first book of this trilogy, The Band 4 - The Air We Breathe, she realized that she wasn't done. Mam and Chase's story, and the love they shared, was simply too big to be contained in a single volume. It was followed by Ed - For Love and Hope, and now by Mam and Chase - Forgotten Stories. Originally inspired by a dream she had, Marguerite has now told Mam and Chase's story from start to finish, and she (and they) can finally rest.

Marguerite lives in Northeastern Pennsylvania with her husband of thirty-eight years.
