In the unforgiving urban jungle of Brooklyn of the 1890s, Maggie Moore is torn between answering her own needs and catering to the desirous men who dominate her life. As Father Flynn, her confessor, points out: there are in this world ten takers for every giver... and Maggie-Now is a magnificent giver. The chief taker is her quarrelsome Irish immigrant father; then there's her wild younger brother Denny and her enigmatic 'educated' wandering husband Claude; yet for all their weaknesses they are warm and steadfast friends to her. In a time when women had to be steadfast and reliable when their men were not, Maggie must learn to navigate a cycle of loss, separation and hope as she forges her own path toward happiness. By the author of A Tree Grows In Brooklyn.
