Collie Maggie




Chained to Your Heart

What if you were forced to marry
someone you barely knew?


    Any hopes eighteen-year-old Katherine Elizabeth Brady once had are gone.  Never in her wildest dreams could she have imagined herself locked up in Newgate, the most notorious of all prisons. Falsely accused of stealing, she shares a communal cell with twenty-five men, women, and children, with no hope of release.
    After his parents were killed in a fire, young James Patrick Murphy was left to fend for himself. One hungry, desperate act landed him in Newgate. The other prisoners seem afraid of “Big Red.” Rumors of his viciousness abound. But one young woman seems to see through to his heart.
    The prisoners are given “the privilege” of being transported to Botany Bay in Australia to finish their servitude and start a new life, but there’s a catch to this freedom from the bars of Newgate: all single women must marry before departing for the rugged frontier. And love has nothing to do with it.

Collie Maggie

     Collie Maggie calls herself a “throw-away” child. Abandoned by her mother after her father's death, she entered foster homes at the age of four. Seven foster homes later she created her own home when she married Jack, now her husband for 39 years.
     “My one and only dream as a child was to be adopted,” Collie says. “It didn't happen until I became a Christian and read Ephesians 1:5: ‘He predestined us to be adopted as his sons through in accordance with his pleasure and will.’ My heart stood still after reading that verse. My dream came true that day.”
     A secretary for her home church in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Collie has been involved in many ministries over the years. Her passion is reminding hurting readers of the hope Christ gives—of His purpose and plan for each one of us.
