Maggie had also lost her best friend ...and it was a terrible accident. The thing that makes it most difficult is that it could have been prevented.

Darin was careless, always flirting with danger.  It had always bothered her. What she couldn't figure out ...was that if he cared for her like she cared for him, why would he continue to do it?  But she didn't really fault him.  It was his free spirit that she liked so well.  If only it didn't also include those things that were detrimental to him ...and her.

Not much news comes from the state of Maine, but this made national news.

Maggie's depression brings her to a point where she feels she can't bear being without him.  She contemplates joining him ...in death.

Maggie's support system had disintegrated before her very eyes.  First Mom died ...then shortly afterwards Dad leaves them.  Her older brother, Len, takes on the responsibility for a while, taking care of her and their younger brother, Ted.  Ted is the smart one in the family, getting a once in a lifetime opportunity to study overseas ...and he takes it.  Len is strong for a time, but then appears to begin going the same route as Dad, except with Len it is not just alcohol.

Maggie wants to desperately reach out to someone, but there is no one.  She is at the cemetery, contemplating her final moment on earth ...she absolutely has no one, and no reason to think otherwise.  But an elderly lady, who is visiting her daughter's gravesite, witnesses Maggie's soon to be departure from this life.

Olga is able to redirect another horrible tragedy from happening ...for a time, at least.

Maggie wishes she could see Olga again, but doesn't know her address ...and she knows she can't bring herself to visit Darin's gravesite again.  So she tries to busy herself with her job ...hoping to bank a little extra money, and hoping her brother, Len, will return.
