Description

Ireland, in the early 20th century, was a country trying to find itself. Maggie, a baby girl, born into a desperate family life, struggles to find her place in this troubled world. Because of her father's need to help his country become independent, his long absences and the stresses these place on Margaret, his wife, and the rest of the family, Maggie loses her identity and freedom, only to become an indentured servant. Barney's actions, while trying to help his country and build a better life for his children, actually place his wife, family and community at risk. Politics and family life are intertwined in this saga of a young girl's life and struggles not only to survive, but to escape her personal prison, and the country she learns to resent. Based on a true story, Maggie's Story: Escape from Ireland, portrays Maggie's hard work and yearnings for a decent future. She attempts to impress those around her, and let them know of her goals and aspirations for a better, more fulfilling life. Does she escape? Or does her father's patriotism commit Maggie to a life of obligation and service? In the lilting Irish voices of her endearing characters, Margaret Fernandez - Williams, author and daughter of the main character, weaves the politics, culture and people of 20th century Ireland into a moving family tale of love, sacrifice and survival.
