About This Book

Dog Mary is the story of Mary Bass, a legendary woman said to have come to the aid of the homeless and poor of the Great Depression. The book speaks to the nature of suffering, hatred, and prejudice, yet Zora Purefoy and Mary Bass--strong, independent women--lend to the novel the greater truth of brightness of the human spirit and the strength of heart-felt relationship. The story narrative is punctuated with raw and vivid oral history citations taken directly from the depression era Federal Writer's Project of 1932-1938 and oral monologues spoken by the book's characters.
