Three weeks before Christmas, an elegant man in a penthouse, a young woman named Carly—homeless and ill with pneumonia—and two calculating thieves invade Maggie's carefully reconstructed life, and in different ways, each is connected to Maggie's difficult past. As Maggie and friends nurse Carly back to health, hearts begin to heal with a hope for the future. But all is not as it seems. When faced with the shocking truth, Maggie must rely on her wits, her friends, and her own strength as never before.
My Review
Maggie's Place is a story that truly tugs at the heartstrings. This story is told from the perspective of a 70+ year old woman and a teenager. Both of these characters have dealt with many trials in life and still are trying to find the strength to survive physically, mentally, and emotionally. Maggie is so full of sorrow that she has a hard time letting joy in her life. Carly is distrusting of most people after being hurt so many times in her short life. Three weeks before Christmas these two women's paths cross and a miracle starts taking place.
This novel follows Maggie and her life at the Eagle Gate Apartments filled with Senior Citizens. Their friendships are strong but it doesn't totally take away the loneliness that is there in your later years. Carly is living on the streets and becomes involved with a group of thugs. Deep in her heart she wants to change and start her life again far away from the streets, thievery, and helplessness.
Maggie's Place takes your emotions on a joy ride and will toss your feelings up and down. This book has a lot of suspense and keeps you thinking and feeling deeply until the very end. Just be prepared with a box of tissues and an open heart to truly have a wonderful experience as you read, Maggie's Place.
