F*CKING ANCIENT
Maggie has lived many lives.
She’s spoken in tongues, kneeled at the foot of a thousand elders, become a master of obsession; alcohol, chanting, botox, Doterra...
But her quest for eternal youth is taking its toll.
In fact, she’s f*cking ancient.
And now she’s about to do something major.....even for Maggie.
