“They had never had anything but now they had nothing. Mary realized how different those two conditions were.”
In Mary Coin, author Marisa Silver imagines the life of the woman depicted in Dorothea Lange’s iconic photo of a migrant mother. Beautifully written, so far. We learn the back stories of the young, widowed mother of six (now seven!) children during the depression and the photographer. This is fiction, but the characters feel painfully, poignantly real.

Wow Lorie, this story reminds me of my grand ma, who had nearly the same conditions, as she used to share those black memories..i feel more energetic to know, how bravely she did fought and never gave up 🙂
Thanks for sharing this post, it really is very close to my heart ❤
