Stella MacLean takes great delight in creating contemporary stories with characters willing to risk everything in their search for love and happiness. Stella MacLean's books all seek to explore the idea that love brings out the best in us, that laughter is the balm that soothes the inevitable detours in life. As a nurse, Stella has experienced firsthand the power of love on healing and on happiness. Stella's first book, Heart of My Heart, is a story about the twisted path love sometimes takes in order for two people to be happy. Her second book, Baby In Her Arms, speaks to the courage of love. Her third book, A Child Changes Everything, out in August 2010, shows us that loving a child can be the gateway to finding the love of our lives.
