Mary Marie

Mary Marie tells her story, initially through the eyes of pre-teen through 16. In some ways mature, in others one might think very child-like for the age she was. There is definite charm in her honest innocence.

It is a redemptive story. A portrait of her parents, as well as those who influenced her parents lives - and thusly her own. In the end, however we may disagree with some of it all, we are relieved that eventually she escapes a pitfall herself.

And one can believe (: it is a realistic hope that her marriage will end up with a happily-ever-after after all, as they achieve a healthy balance between the practical and the enchanting.

Fair Warning: Very involved with aspects of both divorce and reconciliation.
