Excerpt from The Unlived Life of Little Mary Ellen
For these, and because any one of them may turn her horse's head into th main road and drive up to any of the stores any hot afternoon, there are coat pegs within easy reach upon the inside door-frames - pegs usually covered with the linen clusters and seersucker cutaways of the younger men without.
Very few Of the Older ones disturb themselves about these trivial matters.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. In the sweltering summer days of Simpkinsville, a tragedy unfolds that exposes the hidden complexities of human emotion and the unique ways we cope with loss. The author uses the poignant story of Mary Ellen, a woman whose mind is forever altered by heartache, to explore the psychological impossibility of her situation. Through the eyes of the town's doctors and ministers, we witness the resilience of a community as they grapple with Mary Ellen's delusion: she believes a wax doll is her lost child. The author skillfully weaves together the perspectives of these observers, creating a tapestry of compassion, sorrow, and frustration. As the town rallies around Mary Ellen, their efforts to break her from her delusion only serve to illuminate the profound psychological and emotional toll her loss has taken. The author deftly explores the themes of trauma, grief, and the power of the human spirit to find solace in unexpected places. Ultimately, this book is an exploration of the fragile nature of the human psyche and the ways we find meaning in the face of adversity. It poses insightful questions about the nature of reality and the boundaries of love and loss, leaving readers with a lasting impression of the complexities of the human experience.
