Summary

Maggie has always been a planner. The kind of person who enjoys planning a thing almost as much as she loves doing the thing. The kind of person who adds something they’ve already completed to a checklist just for the satisfaction of crossing it off. Getting divorced wasn’t on Maggie’s life plan, or on her checklist. When you’re a planner and life throws you a big, rusty wrench, how do you live in the aftermath? Support our independent production (and get bonus content galore!) by joining TTFA Premium.
