Mary C. Bolduc

Mary C Bolduc Born in Providence Rhode Island, Mary is the second child in a family of five. As a child, one of her many interests was listening to stories on record. She feels that the stories she listened to as a child have had a great impact on how she tells stories now. Growing up, Mary led an active life but suffered from a disability which sometimes prevented her from sharing or taking part in certain activities. Mary believes that the experience of growing up with a disability has increased her sensitivity to others. She hopes that her writing reflects his sensitivity to all who read it. After graduating from nursing school she became a nun. Working in a hospital, she ministered to both adults and children. Her focus was always "The gift that we are to one another". Though no longer a nun, she follows the same premise throughout her writing; welcoming and embracing each child for the gift that they are and for all that they may become.
