A Man Like Mac Fay Robinson 9780373709113 Books

As a person with a disability, I've been looking for romances that feature "my people." I wanted to like this oft recommended book. It was just a bit too much. Perfect man in a chair, heroine who throws up at the site of him, he shows just how perfect he is in every way but one, she finally realizes she loves him. I also didn't like or belive in the heroine. The "OH my life is over because I'm no longer a world class runner" theme was tiring.

A Man Like Mac Fay Robinson 9780373709113 Books Reviews

This is a well written story in every way - insightful for some, uncomfortable for others.

there are many instances that made me pause and challenge my own reactions and ability to cope, with either a personal trauma resulting in a disability or how I might cope with others in my world becoming like-wise challenged. I loved the realistic grittiness in tackling the self-esteem, the sexual needs and breaking down barriers.

Mac is truly a lovely person in every sense of the word, Keely realistically flawed and obstinate to the point of being a pain and LOVED the massive epilogue. I highly recommend but as you can see from other reviewers, it may be confronting for some.
Beautiful. there's no other way to describe this extraordinary book. I've been searching for romance books with people having disablities, and found a gem in a million. About loving inspite of disabilities, this book touches the chord of the true meaning of love and romance. Keely, an olympic runner involved in an accident, is determined to continue her career inspite of the odds, and she doesn't intend to stop until she has a gold medal. So she goes to her old coach, Mac, to help with her rehab, and meets him after many years. But she's shocked to discover that he's crippled for life in a wheelchair. Their old attraction flames to life, but with a small obstacle....the disabilities of Mac. While's she unsure how to treat him and ends up fumbling and hurting his feelings, he thinks the relationship is doomed since he cannot lead a normal life doing basic things, like controlling his bladder or making love, and is embarassed a lot. But in the end love triumphs, and after a lot of trials and tribulations, they do indeed live happily ever after. The characters are truly lovable, especially Mac, and like the cover blurb says, you are really lucky is you read this book. The tears and laughter are sure to flow with this book. And not only is the roamnce wonderful, it also provides insight about how the disabled really live.
A car running a red light hits Olympic medalist Keely Wilson as she runs the streets of Midtown Atlanta. Rushed to a hospital, the medical team worries whether Keely will survive and if she does, whether she will ever walk again. The doctors believe her running career is over, but they do not know the obstinate Keely.

By telephone, Keely persuades her former college coach John McCandless to oversee her training. When Keely meets Mac at Courtland College where he is the athletic director, she is stunned to see he is wheelchair bound. Because of her lung injury, Mac knows she will never be a world class runner again, but he will do anything for the woman he has loved since he first met her as a teenager. As Keely begins her soft training, her attraction for Mac grows, but she still has not reconciled the fact that her hero is a paraplegic. If she ever does, these two physically injured people will find a lifetime of happiness.

A MAN LIKE MAC is an extremely sensitive look at the relationships between individuals with physical handicaps and those who are able-bodied. The lead protagonists are a warm duo and the support cast provides additional understanding to the audience. However, what makes Fay Robinson's novel a must read is the author's ability to escort her readers inside the heart and soul of her characters without turning them into weepy wrecks. Fans who enjoy a delicate, but potent contemporary romance starring enchanting individuals who will steal your heart will relish A MAN LIKE MAC.

Harriet Klausner
You know the book is a keeper when, long after you close the cover, it stays with you. In "A Man Like Mac," Fay Robinson not only pens a keeper, but one that easily deserves the title, "Best First Book."
Olympic runner, Keely Wilson, finds her dreams crushed after injuries suffered in a car accident leave her body and spirit crippled. Determined to achieve her goal of winning Olympic gold in Sydney, Keely returns to the man who was so instrumental in building her young running career, Mac McCandless, in the hopes that he can, once again, work magic. Unbeknownst to her, however, Mac has been dealt his own rotten hand of Life's cards. Keely must find it within herself to not only accept and deal with Mac's condition, but her growing attraction to him. She must also deal with memories of the past--her parents' divorce, her father's death, and her mother's plans to marry again.
As Mac works with Keely, he's not only afraid she will never run again, but that she will rebuff the personal feelings he has for her.
In the hands of a lesser writer, Keely could have come off as a whiny,spoiled brat with whom the reader would feel no compassion, no sympathy; the portrayal of paraplegics and quadraplegics could have come off as maudlin. But Ms. Robinson outfits her complex characters with acceptable and believable conflict and gives them intelligent, compelling dialogue. Some scenes leave you laughing and some will make you cry. But in the end, the reader is filled with a sense of awe and the knowledge that love *can* conquer all.
This is Ms. Robinson's first book. Thankfully, it's not her last(her next is scheduled for Jan. 2001) This is an author to watch, and if her first book is any indication, her career is destined to be a golden one. I can't recommend this book highly enough. It's one of the best love stories of the year.
A great romance. It showed how love overcomes all obstacles and that the two were perfect for each other
The book, A Man Called Mac, is a moving love story. It demonstrates that whatever life throws at you you can survive.
You can start your life over, you can love and be loved and you can be happy....
