Publisher Description: Crazy Mary is a childhood memoir, which takes place in Orange County, California back in the late seventies/early eighties. Marcus must endure the death of his mother while living in the topsy-turvy suburbs with his older brother and father. Marcus' mother suffers from a rare nerve disease; she tragically goes from crutches; to a wheelchair; to a Nursing Home; to her final passing. He must face the perils of growing-up without his mother's care eventually having to accept an unloving stepmother. Crazy Mary is a drunk, who lives next door to Marcus' family; she'd babysat him when he was a toddler. Marcus' life seems to represent the woman's depressive pandemonium, as she frantically knocks and shouts at his front door one afternoon: "where are my babies " |
