Mary Maurie and the Andersonville Diary Tale
A fragmented diary style excerpt follows Mary as she recounts family history and a coming move to live with her father in Andersonville. She notes her mother’s fragile happiness, the arrivals of expected suitors, and hints at a custody arrangement. The entry sketches Mary’s curiosity about her father’s life and a child’s perspective on divorce and social judgments.
