Dear Wonderful Readers,
When I started out on this writing journey, I had no idea where it would take me. I have written a little of this and a little of that. There have been twists and turns, but through it all, I’ve had encouraging words from my readers. Your words mean the world to me, and you mean the world to me.
You, the reader, are the heartbeat of Christian fiction. Without you to read and enjoy what we authors write, they have little purpose. Without you, my stories would be no different than random words on a page with no meaning. You give them meaning and purpose by choosing to spend your valuable time reading them. They would languish in a dusty drawer otherwise.
I am humbled and awed by your kind words. I feel loved by you. I couldn’t be an author without God or you.
You’ve invited me into your lives through my stories. For that I’m truly grateful!
Until the next time we meet between the pages, HAPPY READING!
Blessings,
Mary
And a special thank you to these reviewers:
“A well-structured plot and characters who gripped my heart and hung on. Widow Lily Lexington is on the run, fleeing from Philadelphia to protect the life of her five-year-old son, Toby, as well as her own. She disembarks from the long train-ride in Kamola, Washington, finding employment as cook at Aunt Henny’s Boarding House. But why are both Lily and Toby covered in ugly bruises? And why does Toby look nothing like his mother?
Widower Edric Hammond is taken by Lily from the start, but senses she has buried secrets. Why is she holding herself apart from the rest of the Kamola community? And why is her son so terrified of men?
This engaging story, with all its twists and turns, kept me turning the pages, long into the night. I think it will do the same to you. I received a complimentary copy of The Widow’s Plight, and this review is my own opinion.”

“This is my first Mary Davis book. Since I am not familiar with her way of writing I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of emotions which run through this book. Her characters grabbed my attention and heart strings from the beginning. Lily, a single mother with a tramatized young son, Toby, bring many emotions with them on their flight west. Edric lives and loves his small town. He is the proverbial hero with a heart. I love how these two lives are brought together. They tend to jump to many conclusions about the other which brings humor to the story. Kamola is the small town that one would hope to run to and disappear within. The people care about one another, however, we find the gossip mill is alive and well. I highly recommend this book to anyone. I look forward to the next book in the series. I received a copy through the publisher. A positive review was not required. This review is completely my own opinions. Mary Davis does a wonderful job bringing her characters to a level that a reader may relate with.”
