In Depression-era Mississippi, when 15-year-old Mary is faced with an arranged marriage to an old man, she does the only logical thing: she elopes with the love of her life and heads north to the big city. Soon, tragedy of biblical proportions tests her resilience and destroys her faith.
As Mary struggles to get back to the high life and fancy living she loved, she faces all the triumph and tragedy life can throw at her. With the universe seemingly against her, how long can she remain unbroken?

5.0 out of 5 stars Addictive : I am absolutely loving this story. I knew that Miss Mary had a story which made her the evil status chasing mother to Glory. The author gave us a tiny peek in Glory Bishop but I did not expect this. I thought that I would read a few episodes and come back but I had to bet caught up. Two hours later… My only wish is that Kindle had an android version so that I don’t have to read on my browser. Looking forward to the next chapter. 😊
