What People Are Saying

Michael Lutin
This book paints a hauntingly beautiful picture of a young girl’s rite of passage into adulthood. Mary Cameron Kilgour writes with the simple, clear punch of Vonnegut but without the cynicism. Don’t be fooled, though. Even football players will be sobbing their heads off.

Me May Mary is a powerful personal story of hope, written by a woman who has given hope to many abused and neglected children through her work as a volunteer child advocate.
