It’s been an exhilarating first year as a published author! I am both humbled and honored for this opportunity in engaging with such wonderful new friends and fans of my work. Many more photos to come, as I have promised you, my blogger friends, to share my experience of this journey with you.

Reflections From the Heart 
Mary, I just read your book and reviewed it on Amazon:
“My husband gifted me with this wonderful book for Christmas. I finished it in two days, and feel as though Mary is a part of me now. Her story is told in a simple and honest way, leading the reader almost “gently” through the maze that was her life. After reading her story, and knowing the ending (beginning!) I am struck with this thought….my favorite book as a child and now to adulthood is Jane Eyre. Mary, like Jane, never let her circumstances take away the spark of love and compassion that was instilled in her heart. What a story of resilience, personal growth, compassion, faith, and love.”
Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us. Your story will touch many hearts and offer hope:-)
With love and happiness for your success,
Bernadette
Dear Bernadette,
I read your review today at work (which I shouldn’t do), but I did and you had me in “happy” tears! I am deeply touched hearing how my story has moved you!
My heart is full knowing that I have another fan and a friend across the miles.
The journey has just begun 🙂
Much love,
Mary
