And So It Was for Mary (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798247024583)

If given a second chance at life, would you love differently? Would you mend broken relationships? Would you follow your dreams?

Homeless and estranged from her family, Mary, a guitar savant with big dreams and little hope, is on the verge of letting her life slip away. Just before taking a fatal mix of alcohol and pills, the spirit of a guitar legend appears before her to offer her guidance and a glimmer of hope.

Mary takes advantage of this second chance by getting clean through rehab, falling in love with an actress named Leila, and pouring her soul into her music. When she's diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor, Mary is faced with the decision of barely living or living harder with the limited time she has left. Navigating her grief with the help of her family, Mary comes through on the other side ready to show the world why her life mattered.

This 14-track playlist of Mary's life highlights the highs and lows of a tragically beautiful life. With raw wisdom and inspiring philosophy, this story invites readers to look deep within themselves and find the difference between being alive and living.
