There, But For the Grace of God

In 1955 Maggie Suggs hit Glencoe like a tornado in an Oklahoma trailer park. She was young, sexy, and she caught the eye of many men, including Nate Phillips.

Nate left his Ohio Amish community and set up a furniture shop in Glencoe about the same time. One look a Maggie, and he was in love, and it was a love that never died. The problem was Maggie wanted the man she couldn't have, not the man who loved her. It didn't work out well for Maggie.

Reagan Lamb met Maggie at the Washington County Home in 1998. Maggie's beauty was gone, and she looked like the old horse that was rid hard and put away wet. Maggie was only sixty-four and diagnosed with dementia and COPD. Most of the day, she sat in her wheelchair and looked out at the cornfield.

When Reagan met her, he felt the Holy Spirit tugging on his soul. There was something about Maggie Suggs. What was her story?
