Moving Maggie

The year Maggie turns sixty, she is hit with a triple whammy of unpleasant and definitely unwanted events: the loss of her job, the ending of her marriage, and the need to find a new place to live. "Move-Ahead Maggie" has lost her moxie and can't figure out where to go or what to do with the rest of her life.

To reclaim her identity, she moves to a small rural community and starts fresh. Her growing friendships with Sheila, her real estate agent and now employer; neighbors Mary Dearborn and her granddaughter Janna; and Carl Price, her landlord who may be becoming more than just a friend, help her navigate this new stage of her life.

But as she rebuilds her life, Maggie becomes so focused on regaining her financial stability and professional status that she is afraid to make time for a personal life and possibly even a romantic relationship. Can "Move-Ahead Maggie" find the courage to open herself to having a richer, more balanced life?

PRAISE FOR MOVING MAGGIE

“Diehard list-maker ‘Move-Ahead Maggie’ is hardly prepared for both her marriage and job to end abruptly. With no family and no income, the sixty-year-old marketing professional takes a leap: she moves from the city to the small town of Eden. Vulnerable and relatable, Maggie discovers the magic of human connection, where joy may appear, unbidden, in unexpected places. Yet again, Nancy Christie reigns as the queen of moxie and empathetic women’s fiction. Wait not a second longer. Cut yourself a piece of pie, pour yourself a cup of tea, and savor this unforgettable story.” Chris Coward, author

“Moving Maggie offers inspiration to any woman who has found herself suddenly boxing up remnants of what she thought was a secure life and having to find a new home for her heart. Extremely relatable, and at turns funny, touching, and poignant, Moving Maggie is a story of resilience and how, if we take the reins of our lives and answer the question ‘What do I want,’ we’ll find love, friends, and new opportunities where we least expect them.” Clarissa J. Markiewicz, author
