about the author
Mary Jean Bonar
I am Mary Jean (Waugh) Bonar, from the beautiful state of West Virginia—my parents’ only child. My grandparents lived under the same roof with us, and the house was awash with loving kindness and visited regularly by siblings of my grandparents. These were Christians and along with my dear parents taught me and all the children right from wrong by the way they lived; and it was expected that I would be honest, well-educated, and successful in the world God had planned for me.
