McCartney immerses you in childhood memories of her beloved Pelham, New York neighborhood and her fond memories of summer camp exploits and experiences. The connections created in her early days expanded and remain with her today, embodied by life-long friendships. After her childhood, she extended her circle of friends into her Bethany College years and her love of sporting events.

You will also traverse her summer vacation exploits and adventures and begin to follow the trajectory of her successful and intriguing career in the event and hospitality industry. As her life in Chicago develops, you may find yourself becoming a Bears or Cubs fan as you share in her enthusiasm for the many games she supported. McCartney’s love of adventure and travel eventually cast her into Europe, Africa, and Australia, far and wide, as her web of connections continued to expand. Her travel stories become part of an unfolding saga of friends and family, acquaintances, and casual encounters. Each with a lesson learned that can serve the reader in life and business.

Follow along with the life of an active, social networking maven as McCartney while learning her methods for engaging others by striking up a conversation, or meeting others in unconventional ways.
