Impossibly withered lives begin to come alive, when an old miserly woman makes the self-satisfied decision to hire an individual who has the uncanny ability to find dry humor in the most ridiculous of circumstances. Marginal Madge, Always on the Edge, breathes beauty into hardships, wisdom into ignorance, and humor into the mundane. From a young girl, into adulthood, Marginal's hardships are turned, one by one, into blessings. As life seemed to pass her by, Marginal Madge strengthened her gifts, rolled with the punches, moved herself into new territory, and found out that her life was, in fact, being guided with impeccable direction. Marginal Madge, Alice Turbantine, Augustus the Cat, Henry the accountant, Gabe, Theodore J McCallahan, and the rest of the cast are all in for a surprise.

It will change everything … for many people … especially Marginal
