Mary Roth wrote, For almost as long as I can remember, I thought whenever I know enough, I will write a book. So, the years went by, I felt that I knew less and less. Now that I know nothing I wonder if I am wise. Her wisdom comes through in themes of God s love, grace, forgiveness, and hope in prose and poetry. Her writings are spiritual food for our journey and are derived from everyday experience such as straitening the candles, cleaning out the gutters, a thank you note returned, and falling leaves. The short stories are both entertaining and thought provoking. Deep emotions are stirred though her poetry.From a lonely childhood, through academic success, marriage and motherhood, and professional achievements, Mary s writings assure us that where there is sorrow, God provides comfort and hope.
