For
fifteen-year-old Lason Davies, it all started with a text.
“HIDING
PLACE.”
The
last words of her murdered grandmother haunt Lason as she travels to
England with her sheltering mother for the funeral. The crime is a
sensation, but the clamoring reporters and news photographers aren’t
the only ones interested in their arrival.
As
her mother’s behavior borders on erratic (on a good day), Lason
encounters a stranger from Weariland, a dreary world once known as
Wonderland. He petitions Lason’s help in finding a secret family
heirloom, a key to saving his land—and to Lason’s past. Lason is
swept in an adventure through Weariland’s unpredictable realm,
encountering colorful, fantastical characters and discovering her
family’s elusive history. But if she isn’t careful, she may never
return…

About
the Author
Mary grew up in northeast Ohio, so it was only natural for her to pursue a degree in marine biology. After studying dolphin behavior and estimating great white shark populations, she earned her Ph.D. in Biostatistics in Charleston, South Carolina. It was there, during the arduous dissertation process, where she had the idea to write a book.
With Alice and the crazy characters from Wonderland staring her down from her bedroom poster, Mary envisioned what that fantasy realm would look like in current day. Creative writing served as a natural escape from technical writing, wedding planning, pregnancy, and job hunting.
Mary is excited to debut Weariland (Merge Publishing, 2016), a novel introducing Lason Davies, a teenager who learns about her family's past in a world once called Wonderland. She currently resides in Tennessee with her husband and three children.
