Magpie

<p>Maggie Morris resembles a human. Unknown and unattached she moves seamlessly through her days a polished collection of patterns. Her only honest relationship is with the dormant tree outside her Brooklyn loft window. When she unexpectedly runs into her childhood best friend Dana a Tsalagi girl who disappeared the summer they turned nine Dana's cryptic references about the events surrounding her disappearance launch Maggie down a rabbit hole of questions not only about that long-ago summer but about who she's become and why. </p><p><br></p><p>Magpie explores appropriation and masking as the means through which an undiagnosed autistic woman builds a functional identity burying her true one in the process. Maggie is difficult odd and soulful-in search of not only answers to a childhood mystery but an authenticity she has no idea how to recognize.</p><p><br></p>
