Award winning author, Annette Haws writes contemporary women’s literature about a variety of subjects. Maggie’s Place tackles young love, homelessness, suicide, knitting, dementia, and the personal baggage that encumbers people entering the third act of their lives. The Accidental Marriage is a thoughtful, heartbreaking and often laugh-out-loud romp that captures the complexities of a new marriage that’s falling apart. Waiting for the Light to Change is a window into the troubled world of adolescent angst and teachers trying to navigate that world.
