When Alison marries Rigby Toan she cannot believe her luck. Rigg is the perfect husband – loving, ambitious and attractive – and everybody envies them their happiness. But when the recession takes hold Rigg's facade is stripped away and his flashy car and sharp suits prove to be bought by expensive lies. As debts spiral out of control and their home is repossessed, Alison is forced to open her eyes to the world and to the sort of man her husband really is. From his position as a private investigator, Morgan watches as Alison trudges the weary path of poverty and despair. But even he underestimates the inspirational strengths of her determination to eventually win through. Maggie's Boy, first published in 1994, is a heartwarming story of the determination and love that can conquer a change of fortune and terrible hardship.

Biography/History:
Beryl Kingston was born in London in 1931 and was 8 years old when WWII began. She remained in London for the first four months of the blitz until her road was bombed and her house was uninhabitable. She has been a writer since she was seven when she started producing poetry which, according to her, was very, very bad. She taught English from 1952 to 1985 before embarking on a career as a prolific, full-time writer.
Beryl Kingston's first book was published in 1985 and was an instant bestseller. From then on she wrote a bestseller every year for the next 14 years, ranging from family sagas to modern stories and historical novels, including novels about WWI and WWII. She reached the top payment level for public lending right with her 4th book and passed the million mark in sales with book number 12. She has also written plays for the children, stories for various magazines and a novella about a conceited cat. She won the 2014 Blake Society Tithe Grant Award. Beryl Kingston was married for 54 years, had three children and five grandchildren and now has five great-grandchildren, who are the apples of her eye.
