Little Maggie

'Baby Maggie was stolen - straight out of the cradle' This was not a crime - not in any legal way. Maggie was the fourth child born to Marlies and Josito Otero - in the span of four years and four months. Incredible? But true. One plus years later, Fabiola was born - forcing Baby Maggie out of her crib, to make way. Family friend Lucinda, found it too harsh on Baby Maggie, and too difficult for Marlies to handle - caring for five children, all under five. Lucinda offered to care for Little Maggie - for just 'a short while', until Marlies got back on her feet. So, it was agreed upon and the deed was done. 'A Short While' turned into seven years. Maggie now had a whole new family - who were complete strangers to her. It was a turbulent transition - going from a place where she was 'special' to the Otero household - where it was a free-for-all, survival of the fittest, chaotic, loud, and sometimes downright frightening to Maggie, like walking through the very pit of hell. Her only hope was to hang onto the life she knew before. Based on a true story....
