"A Woman Named Mary Frances"
  (The Story of Mary Frances Grogan Mahan )


Picture
   Forty-six years after the end of legalized slavery, in the town of Marietta, Georgia, Mary Frances Grogan was born. She lived to be 106 and though we weren’t related, I considered her my “Aunt.”
    Who was Mary Frances? She was life, in all its wondrous, determined, set-back, move-forward, fall-back, push-ahead, keep-going, keep believing, keep-the-faith, trust-in-God splendor and I’ve been blessed to write a book about her life.
    From the moment I met her, I knew Aunt Frances was a special woman. Writing this book showed me just how much…
    A private project, her family has given permission to make a limited number of books available to the public. I invite you to read about this amazing person who touched lives everywhere she went and who’s faith in God never wavered…

This was a limited edition book.
There are currently no more copies available but more will be printed in the near future.
