The Return: Christ Has Died, Christ Is Risen, Christ Will Come Again! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781439214992)

Raised on the New Jersey shore, Gail Dawson McNally went on to Centenary College for Women in Hackettstown. After graduation, she joined the CIA and following training in Washington, DC, began working for the Agency in the Republic of Panamá. There she spent 25 years, married the admiral's aide, raised five children, and worked in several commercial ventures. Enamored with the Latin world about her, she wrote extensively on issues affecting Central and South America. Further studies in International Relations at Florida State University in Panamá and in Intelligence Analysis at the Defense Intelligence Agency College in Washington, DC, provided her the insight and background to write her novel, The Return. Research for the novel was further bolstered by travels to Rome and Israel and by attending courses at the Notre Dame Graduate School of Theology in Alexandria, Virginia. A contributor of several articles as well as a family history in the Canal Zone Museum Society publication, Write of Passage, McNally is a recipient of the Panama Canal Honorary Public Service Award. She is also a past president of The American Society of Panamá and of the Panamá Chapter of Soroptimist International of the Americas. McNally resides with her husband in Alexandria.
