Mary on the Move

Curious, charming, determined and inspirational - that's Mary.

She's bright, sociable, and always on the move. The beautifully rendered cartoons in this unusual graphic novel depict the wit, wisdom and sarcasm of a senior citizen currently living in an assisted living facility in the Midwest. She assures her son she'll be fine tackling stairs to a restaurant "as long as the railing doesn't fall." When her daughter schedules bird watching, Mary muses, "What if they don't come?" Whether visiting West Africa, encountering the police or hanging on for dear life when being backed down an incline in a wheelchair, she never loses her spirit for adventure and always keeps her beloved grandchildren in her thoughts and prayers. Mary is the one of the people we all know who keeps going, whatever the challenge.
