Leaving Maggie Hope
Anthony S. Abbott
Soft Cover - ISBN - 978-0-9789342-3-1 $14.95
For David Lear, ten years old, there has never been anybody quite like his mother. She can be so caring, so warm and funny, but there are times when her drinking sweeps her away, and her affection gives way to verbal abuse, and sometimes even violence. Then David tries to run away from home, and is sent away to boarding school.
To confront the legacy of his family, he spends time with a father he hasn’t seen in years, a stepmother who loathes him, and a mysterious benefactress who pays for his schooling. They offer bits and pieces of revelation, but at the center is his mother, Maggie Hope, whose life has long since slipped from its moorings.
The question is whether something similar will happen to David, or whether he will succeed, as he becomes a young man, in finding the strength to make his way in the world.

“We tend to think of ghost stories as happening somewhere else, but these tales take place just up the road and down the street and on Lake Norman. You will never see Charlotte or Mooresville or Davidson in quite the same way after reading this book. A delightful collection!”
