Mary Shannon is a published writer, award-winning visual artist, and psychotherapist. Her debut novel, The Sunday Wishbone, is based on her personal experience of childhood trauma and its long-term impact.
A sometimes funny, sometimes shocking tale of love, loss, and the promise of possibility, this character-driven narrative reveals the many faces of what it is to be human, and the power of hope in overcoming any adversity.
