'Mary Marie' Summary
Mary Marie's world is turned upside down when her parents announce their divorce. She struggles to adjust to this new reality, forced to navigate the complexities of living in two separate households. While Mary Marie is deeply affected by the separation, she observes her parents' continued love for each other, despite their decision to end their marriage. With a child's unwavering innocence and optimism, Mary Marie orchestrates a series of events that lead to a heartwarming reunion between her parents. Years later, Mary Marie, now a mature woman, reflects on her childhood experiences and their impact on her own understanding of love, marriage, and the enduring nature of family bonds. Eleanor H. Porter masterfully captures the emotional nuances of childhood, the challenges of divorce, and the power of love and forgiveness in this poignant and heartwarming tale.Book Details
