A Spendid Writer
I have read all of Mary MaGarry Morris' books. She is one of the finest writers that I have ever read. Vanished and Hole in the Universe are two of my favorite of her books. Her characters are real and empathetic, her stories captivating. I can't wait until she publishes another treasure for us to read.
