Marys Marie and the double life in a family diary
Mary narrates a fragment from her diary about her birth and name, a father the famed astronomer, and a mother bent on divorce. She recounts tensions at Andersonville, a six month split with her parents in Boston, and a struggle over schooling as family dynamics grow complex and reveal a playful, uneasy bond with her father.
