Beverly Donofrio

I felt sorry for the kid, born to a teenage Mom who either ignored him or treated him as a peer. She was a mess

Sweet bedtime adventure, with intricate illustrations that appeal to my borrowers-loving heart.

If you enjoyed the movie made of this book with Drew Barrymore, you will really love the book. More details of course and some differences on how things turn out. Highly recommended.

This is a beautifully written book which I really enjoyed, both laughing and crying along with Beverly Donofrio and her search for Mary and what this means to her. It had an enormous impact on me and really increased my knowledge and connection with my own Mary. I normally donate my books to the charity shop, I can't part with this one, it is just gorgeous and highly recommended.
