Mahrynie Red

Mahrynie reads like the pages of a family photo album. It is frothed with marital, parent/child and family conflicts. This work contains vivid pictorial accounts of romance, domestic violence, murder and suicide. It is set in the Deep Southern State of Arkansas and continues on Galveston Island, Texas. All the nuances of Mahrynie's psychosocial development spans a fifty years time period. She eventually ends up in San Francisco, California. This book is serious, delightfully funny and is told in a poignant genre. It is the culmination of three marriages and divorces, seven children, surviving and living happily ever after these life-shattering events. Mahrynie began as a memoir of the author; however, it evolved into a novella as a courtesy to the authors' family.
