Mary DeMuth
The interview I had with Mary DeMuth left me wanting to learn more from her. She is such an inspiring woman who God has apparently chosen for himself. He uses her mightily and she gives all the credit to He who earth as a His footstool and heaven as His throne.
I’ve always admired Mary at a distance until one day a good friend of mine, T. Suzanne Eller, introduced us at the SheSpeaks conference in North Carolina in August. Up until that point I could never muster up the courage to contact her to invite her to be a guest on Books A Latte. However, I chickened out…again.
My daughter, T accompanied me on this trip to the conference. Sometime during the teen portion of the conference, T met Mary. She won an autographed copy of Mary’s book Daisy Chain (the sequel is entitled Slow Burn). Well, on the entire trip home the name Mary DeMuth seeped from her lips more times than I can remember. I made the mistake of thinking that the excitement would slip away as time distanced her from the memorable occasion…NOT! This child gave new meaning to the word “relentless.” She would not allow me to wallow in my fear that Mary was too important to take the time to talk with me.
We met Mary in August and I didn’t interview her until November. Is T persistent or what?
Check out our interview – you may want to take notes, Mary shares quiet a bite of valuable information (she also talks about her next book):

There certainly is something special about Mary. I simply adore her, kind of from afar as well. She knows so much about so many things and exudes such persistence in the world of writing. Simply thinking of her spurs me on in my writing endeavor. Her books are so very DEEP. Part of me hates that Mary has endured so much that she can write novels like that with such intimacy. Yet I see what these novels are doing in peoples lives and am reminded that God works her past for the good of others. Her Family Secrets blog is an amazing source for those who are hurting, see http://blog.myfamilysecrets.org/.
