Join host Tom Riddell and co-host Teri Brown as they welcome author Maggie Fuller to The Writers Lounge. Sit back and relax as Maggie discusses what it's like to be a writer and she will also talk to us about her book: Saving the Ghost

Ellen McInnis was the victim of rape by her father when she was a child. At 17 years of age, she moved on in her life, putting distance between her and her abusive parents but she decided not to tell anyone except for her best friend and her husband, regarding the horrors that she suffered as a child. She was able to maintain a successful career and she also enjoyed good relationships with friends and others. But when her father died, she is forced back into the family fold and the traumatic memories of her childhood are brought back to the surface. This proves to be too much for Ellen, and it puts her on the path to total and complete destruction. Out of desperation, she confides in her elderly aunt Mercy, who was there for her as a child. She hopes that Mercy will heal her emotional wounds, but she soon finds out that Mercy is keeping horrible secrets of her own. When Ellen learns of what Mercy kept secret and has lived with all through the years, she is even more devastated, and her world continues to crumble all around her. She learns that her family has lived an unimaginable lie and now, Ellen wonders how she can survive it all.
