Day by day

by Sandra Steffen

Maggie MacKenzie has everything that matters most. She has Spence, the husband she adores. She has two beautiful daughters. She has her sister Jackie, her best friend and confidant. Then Maggie's life and the lives of her loved ones are shattered when a car accident leaves her in a deep coma. By her bedside, day after day, are Spence and Jackie, who refuse to give up. Yet each day that Maggie lies lost to the world, Spence and Jackie die a little more inside. In a moment of pure despair, they reach out blindly for one another. But just as all hope seems lost, Maggie awakens. And everything has changed. Maggie is determined to reclaim her once-charmed life and heal the distance she feels growing in her marriage. But nothing can prepare her for a shocking truth—or for the ways in which the world has carried on without her. Yet Maggie remains certain of one thing: she's been granted a second chance…and she intends to make the most of it. Piecing things together as best she can, and living her life in a whole new way—minute by minute, hour by hour…
