Me and Mary

Description

Me and Mary is the warm, intimate and affecting tale of the life-long relationship between the author and his grandmother, Mary, a woman of remarkable grace and fortitude. Mary, born Southern and female, poor and colored, wouldn’t normally be thought of by society as extraordinary. Society would be wrong. Told through the author’s eyes and set in the heart of America’s racial history, it’s a story about the transcendent power of love, the lessons our lives teach, and how each of us has the power to shape the world.
