The Crazy McGuires

Max McGuire claims to have the craziest family that ever existed.

His father Mack is one of the world's greatest Monet forgers. His mother is a local music teacher and socialite, or as much a socialite as Fair City, Alabama, allows. His sister, a boarding school student, is quite the vixen and the protégé of her mother. Mack's Miami cousin Tony is an international criminal.

It is Max's cousin talented Corky from New Orleans he is in love with. And her mother Lynnette is the craziest of all the McGuires.

Max wants to go to Harvard, be captain of the rowing and wrestling teams, and be in the most elite fraternity. But when you have a family as wacky as Max's, and have to pay for the crimes of your father, you don't get what you want. That does not stop Max's pursuit for happiness and greatness.

We follow Max's life from age five to twenty-nine, which takes us to his homeplace in Alabama, to Ecuador, to Miami.

This is the first of two volumes dealing with Max's life.
