About the book: 2021 / As a child, Margaret Rose Moore, a girl born into a family of Irish emigrants in Brooklyn, was nicknamed Darling Maggie for her restless and cheerful disposition. But life did not spare Maggie - at sixteen, trouble knocked on the door, and she had to quit school and devote herself entirely to home, father and newborn brother. When Maggie finally met Claude, the love of her life, he turned out to be not at all the kind of person with whom it was easy to become happy. However, Sweet Maggie has always drawn strength from being useful to others, so she, like a persistent reed in the wind, will never give in to the blows of fate.
