Margaret, Are You Leaving?
Author: Dianne Yarwood
Format: Hardcover
Sydney, 2001. Now in her forties, Maggie Reid has built a good life for herself, surrounded by good people. She has an adorable but needy dog and a new relationship. She has tried hard to leave her painful past behind her, but when her beloved brother Lucas calls with news of their adopted mother’s death, he also delivers a bombshell about Maggie’s birth mother.
So begins an uncertain, bumpy journey to trace her mother’s identity, a quest that brings fresh heartbreak but also unexpected joy. Maggie’s spent her whole life leaving, but now, for the first time, will she find a reason to stay?
Deeply empathetic, uncommonly witty and wise, Margaret, Are You Leaving? celebrates the messiness of family and the beauty of life in all its heartache and wonder.
