Book excerpt: 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.
