Escaping her past, eighteen-year-old Maddie arrives in Glasgow. Poor and lonely, she's determined to make a new start but is frightened to trust anyone.
An opportunity at a new life opens for her after she is befriended by the Kingston family; an opportunity she grasps with gratitude and clings to tenaciously. And then, a new man enters her life ... and maybe - just maybe - there is a light at the end of the tunnel after all.
But is she ready to leave her past behind and reach lasting happiness?
Set in mid-20th century Glasgow, Irene Lebeter's MADDIE is the story of one girl's journey to bring peace, normality and happiness to her turbulent life.
