ABOUT

When Mary Margaret Sullivan turned sixty-seven-years old, she changed her name, boxed up her previous life, moved into a one-bedroom apartment on the Seventh Floor of the Eagle Gate Apartments, and hid her memories in a chicken wire storage unit in the basement. Secrets, of course, have an inconvenient way of surfacing when people least expect them to reappear. Three weeks before Christmas, an elegant man in the penthouse and a homeless girl invade Maggie’s carefully circumscribed life. In different ways, each is connected to Maggie’s difficult past. The young girl is easy to love, but Maggie’s feelings for the gentleman in the penthouse twist as she struggles to give what he desperately needs, forgiveness.

PRAISE

“This is a book to embrace, enjoy, and celebrate. Robert Browning said it long ago, “Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be.” Some of those, “best” moments are penned with delicious description and dialogue by Annette Haws as she paints the possibilities that still await the AARP crowd. A not to be missed surprising adventure. A perfect Christmas read.”
- Terrell Dougan, Good Reads

“Maggie’s Place takes the reader on a journey to the innards of the Eagle Gate Apartment Building, a Salt Lake City landmark. The book dives into the realm of aging, something that most of us are trying to avoid. On this journey you will meet—Maggie, who is trying to construct a new life, with Rosie, Jan, and Sue. The ladies muster the strength and a sense of humor to face the treacherous trip to buy groceries, muse on the new male tenant in 8B, and show compassion to a homeless teen, Carly, who mysteriously arrives and gives the senior set a renewed purpose.” - Jan, Good Reads

“What impressed me most about Maggie’s Place was the beautiful writing. I was captivated by Annette’s words, which were sometimes melancholy, but always truthful. I love the story too. I don’t think enough contemporary fiction portrays the lives of people in our older years, and Maggie’s Place does so very thoughtfully. I was captivated by Maggie’s relationships with her daughter, her friends, and her family—both known and unknown.” - Jenna W, Good Reads
