About the Author

Mary Roth wrote, For almost as long as I can remember, I thought whenever I know enough, I will write a book. So, the years went by, I felt that I knew less and less. Now that I know nothing I wonder if I am wise.

Themes and Content

Her wisdom comes through in themes of God's love, grace, forgiveness, and hope in prose and poetry. Her writings are spiritual food for our journey and are derived from everyday experience such as straitening the candles, cleaning out the gutters, a thank you note returned, and falling leaves. The short stories are both entertaining and thought provoking. Deep emotions are stirred through her poetry.

Inspiration and Message

From a lonely childhood, through academic success, marriage and motherhood, and professional achievements, Mary's writings assure us that where there is sorrow, God provides comfort and hope.
