Mary Go Round

About the Book

A cautionary tale for our time. The story of Mary Go Round is focused on the aftermath of world war 1, and of the death and destruction drilled into the mind and soul of a man who became a monster. He returned from duty as "The Prince" and he reigned abuse and cruelty on the three innocents who eagerly awaited his glorious home coming. That deream was not to be realized. Now forced from the prison shack, aka, "The Castle", Mary faced a strange new world as she plodded through many difficult encounters in her young, troubled life, to find an invigoraing freedom with a new age entrepreneur who offered her security and the promise of love in the future.
