Mary’s favorite stories are inspirational tales about marriage reconciliation and the journey of grace in lifelong relationships. She's currently writing book #12 in that genre. She and Jason have been married for 40+ years. They’ve been buffeted by their share of storms but by God’s grace have stayed together--and still like each other. ;) Whenever she can, Mary likes to include her love for romance, second chances, and ocean settings in her books.

Besides writing, Mary likes to read, do artsy stuff, go on adventures with Jason, and meet her four adult kids for coffee or breakfast.

Loved the series

This is a great series. The people drew me in it was like I was there with them cheering for each one of them even the side characters. I would gladly recommend the series.

Great characters!

I love the humanness of her characters. They’re not perfect, but they’re doing their best to make up for wrongs and keep their marriage commitments. It takes work and God’s strength to make a marriage work and the couples in these stories demonstrate that. The plot takes some drastic, unrealistic turns in some of the books, but overall this series is uplifting and entertaining.
