“Sometimes you have to lose your way to find yourself.” –L. Bradley
Middle-aged, Maggie Abernathy just wants to recuperate from cancer during the solitude of summer vacation after a tiresome year of teaching second grade. Maggie’s plans are foiled when precocious seven-year-old, Chloe McIntyre moves in next door with her dad, John. Maggie’s life changes in a way she could never imagine when the pesky new neighbors steal her heart. With Maggie’s grown son away, her ex-husband in the shadows, her meddling mother’s unannounced visits, and Chloe McIntyre on her heels, somehow Maggie’s empty house becomes home again.
“Linda Bradley’s fresh voice will keep readers riveted from beginning to end. Bradley delivers a heart-warming story full of disarming honesty and beautiful drama…This one stands out!” —Jane Porter New York Times and USA Today best selling author
"Maggie's Way is a heart-warming tale of love and loss, fear and friendship. With charming characters and a moving plot, Linda Bradley's debut gently reminds us that it's never too late for second chances." —Lori Nelson Spielman, International Best Seller, Author of The Love List and Sweet Forgiveness
"What an awesome book with characters you will fall in love with as the story unfolds. Anyone who has gone thru radiation for breast cancer will find themselves in Maggie. The romantic side of the story is beautifully written and the neighbor child is smarter than most adults. I read this book in a day and a half and can't wait for book two! The author Linda Bradley has already completed book three of the series but just needs to get them published according to her Maggie's Way Facebook page. I think we will all be reading Linda Bradley novels for a long time to come." —Net Galley Review
"I laughed, I cried, I ate chocolate. What a great book and if you haven't read Junie B. Jones to your kids: do so!" —Ed Burke, Goodreads Review
"I can't recall the last time I read a book in one sitting, but this was one of them! Beautifully written, and very close to home for someone who can relate with some of the things the main character, Maggie Abernathy, has been through. The book touches on grave misunderstandings, loves that are lost and found, and the hesitation we sometimes feel when faced with the decision to share our weaknesses.
"The relationships were real, sometimes raw, and I found myself laughing, crying, and at times shaking my head at the antics of the characters that Ms. Bradley brings to life. What a wonderful book, and my only disappointment was when it ended and I realized I would need to go on to book 2. Suppose you could call that a win win though! Looking very much forward to the continuation of Maggie and John's story!" —D.A. Henneman, Goodreads Review
