Readers’ Reviews for Peachy Girl
What an engaging account of your parents' life. You balanced the dark with the light beautifully. When writing family memoirs, as I know from personal experience, you walk a very fine line trying to get to "the truths' that actually give the subjects depth of character - to make them relevant - to make them human. You managed this well and I hope managed to keep everyone in the family talking to you - no small thing. Congratulations. Pat
I want you to know that I absolutely loved it, read it all in one sitting, and felt immensely satisfied and moved - teared up at the epilogue - it's still with me. You write with such empathy and so little sentimentality - difficult balance to achieve. You have the confidence in your characters to let them stand on their own and they shine. Incredible job, Mary. It's really, really good. Cathy
