But it turns out Maggie isn't the only one in trouble. When a crisis hits the local community, Maggie has a choice: to give up on life, or go back to her legal roots and fight for justice. But can she save the day as well as herself This laugh-out loud debut novel shows that no battle is too big when you've got friends on your side.
