She tries them all with mixed success-but nothing seems to squelch that underlying worry that her best days are behind her.</p><p>Can Maggie come to terms with her new life and learn to trust what she cannot see? Can she reclaim her marriage and find a new sense of purpose? Can she discover a miracle cure for the aging process?</p><p>Well two out of three ain't bad!</p><p>And the fun of this particular journey is just the whipped cream on the double-shot mocha.</p>
