Maggie is the younger sister who is the one who has always been told that she is beautiful but stupid. She has a severe learning disability which she also uses as a crutch to keep from having to act as an adult. Rose yet again bails Maggie out and Maggie ends up living with her for a while.

When she finally gets out of bed she decided to take a leave of absence from work and winds up starting a pet care business, and loving it. She also meets someone who she used to work with and falls in love. Maggie on the other hand lives the life of a street person at Princeton until she uncovers a long lost grandmother.
