"MAE is a most beautifully and compellingly written,
heart-breaking, life-and-love-affirming tale all at once. I read it
in one sitting I was so unable to put it down. This is creative
nonfiction at its finest." -Acclaimed novelist Sophie Powell A tale
of love, challenges, determination and faith, MAE chronicles the
life of L.Mae Martin, whose journey starts on her family's farm in
Scituate, Rhode Island, a small New England town, during the
depression. A strong willed girl whose favorite motto is "It's a
great life if you don't weaken," Mae faces a myriad of obstacles in
her life from both strange and overbearing relatives to friends who
encourage and help her on her way to her dream of becoming a
teacher and mother. Though she always keeps a positive attitude,
she must make her way through a maze of tragic and challenging
events and experiences which she encounters along the way.
Regardless, she refuses to give in or give up on her dreams. MAE is
a story about a strong woman with a zest for life who fights for
what she believes in to the very end. She is a shining example of
family values and virtues for modern day women. Dick Martin is an
award winning writer whose feature stories and columns have
appeared in a number of magazines and newspapers including Your
Smithfield Magazine, The Woonsocket Call, The Providence Journal,
Providence Magazine, and The Observer, among other venues. Martin,
who grew up on a small farm in Glocester, Rhode Island, based the
story of Mae on his own mother, who kept diaries growing up on the
family farm in Scituate, Rhode Island. Tales were a common pastime
for the family, whose strong Irish heritage is evident in the
stories which fill the pages of MAE. It is a book which is both
humorous and sad as it winds through the path of Mae's long life, a
life of fulfillment, promise, and hope, but most of all, love.
