It's one beautiful thing to get lost in words on a page, but it's an entirely different experience to pull up a chair with the author as she invites you into her world. Hi! I'm Mary, author of Twelve Stripes Deep: How Infertility & Other Suffering Delivered My Greatest Joys. I want to give my readers a more personal look into my story of infertility, endometriosis, pain, and loss - but also acceptance, answers, joy, and hope through my Catholic faith. This is basically a podcast version of an audio book. From my heart to your ears, this is a story just like yours, read by me.
Mary Bruno hosts Twelve Stripes Deep, a religion show with 24 episodes published.
