Publisher's Synopsis

""Mary Cary Frequently Martha"" is a novel written by Kate Langley Bosher. The story follows the life of Mary Cary, a young girl who is orphaned at a young age and sent to live with her wealthy Aunt Amelia. Mary is a spirited and curious child who often gets into trouble, but she has a good heart and a strong sense of justice. As she grows up, Mary becomes more aware of the social injustices around her, particularly the mistreatment of African Americans in her community. She becomes involved in the civil rights movement and begins to question the values of her wealthy upbringing. Throughout the novel, Mary struggles to find her place in the world and reconcile her privileged background with her desire to make a difference in the lives of others. The book is a classic coming-of-age story that explores themes of social justice, identity, and the power of individual action.1910. Frontispiece by Frances Rogers.
