Mary Brady grew up as the second of seven children in Virginia, surrounded by the joy and bustle of a big family. With loved ones spread across Virginia, Maryland, Tennessee, and Texas, family has always been at the heart of her story. In 2018, Mary made her home in Onslow County, North Carolina, where she continues to find inspiration in the simple, meaningful moments of everyday life.
When she’s not writing, Mary enjoys long walks with her dog, the quiet art of cross-stitching, and diving into genealogical research as she pursues her certification in the field. Each of these passions reflects her love for history, connection, and storytelling—threads that weave their way into her creative work.
Mary’s writing captures the wonder of childhood imagination and the joy of family togetherness. Her stories are built to spark laughter, curiosity, and unforgettable moments between parents and children, encouraging readers to see the extraordinary hiding in the ordinary.
Through her books, Mary invites families everywhere to slow down, share in the magic of play, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
