Are you looking for a specific "Just Mary" story?
Mary Grannan wrote many stories for specific people, both adults and children. Sometimes this was obvious from the story and sometimes not. Since the publication of the biography and Reader, some people have contacted me for help locating stories written for a parent. I was most happy to oblige. If you are looking for a Mary Grannan story written for someone you know, please and I will be pleased to help.
