[edit] Childhood
Maggie's mother died when she was young, sometime prior to 1957, but a portrait of her that Sam had painted was kept around the house for at least ten years (12, 22).
Despite the death of her mother, Maggie led a happy childhood with Sam serving as both mother and father to her (43).
In 1957, Sam's friend Burke Devlin went to prison for manslaughter and Maggie noticed a changed in her father. He became moody, self-loathing, and started drinking a lot and painting less (12, 43).
Shortly after the trial, Sam had sold a bunch of paintings for $15,000 (39). The money did nothing to improve Sam's mood and he wound up blowing it all very fast, forcing Maggie to get a job as a waitress at the Collinsport Inn (43).
[edit] Later life
When Burke Devlin returned to Collinsport in 1967, Maggie noticed a large level of fear in her father. She suspected it had something to do with Burke and/or Roger Collins, but he refused to address it (12). One night, he wrote a letter addressed to her and told her to put it in a safe place and only open it if something happened to him. When asked what it was about, Sam only further avoided her questions (37).
