I am a social worker, teacher and writer.
I'm the granddaughter of Italian immigrants, which means I'm passionate.... about almost everything.
I grew up in New Jersey eating sweet corn, going ‘down the shore’ and listening to Bruce Springsteen and Southside Johnny.
I learned to drive a stick shift as a freshman at Boston College.
After graduation, I ran away from home (sort of) and landed in California.
That's where I got married and raised two amazing young men. several guinea pigs, rabbits, fish, chickens and a handful of dogs.
I love sports, especially baseball, which is a lot like life.
And I always root for the underdog.

You can find me at https://www.suzannemaggio.com where I blog weekly and have a monthly newsletter that you can sign up for.

When Life Gives You Lemons - Moving Forward After Loss - Leigh Brennan

Like many of us, I grew up in a family full of expectations. From the way we behaved to the way we thought, I thought there was one right way. It is something I wrote about in my first memoir, The Cardinal Club, A Daughter's Journey to Acceptance. But life has a way of reminding us that we're not in control. It's taken me a lifetime to unlearn that lesson, something I continue to work on today.

Quotes by Suzanne Maggio  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I have long been fascinated with the human condition, the ability we have to face enormous struggles and come through them, often, the stronger for it. I have seen it over and over again in the people I’ve worked with. Resilience humbles me. We are stronger than we know.”

"I was drawn to the sense of belonging in baseball. The notion that you were all in it together. Baseball depended on all nine guys doing their job. My mother raised us the same way. We were a team. We won or lost together." from The Cardinal Club - A Daughter's Journey to Acceptance”
Suzanne Maggio, The Cardinal Club: A Daughter's Journey to Acceptance

“Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don't give up.”
Anne Lamott
