About me
Mary Rowen is the Boston-area author of Leaving The Beach (winner of a 2016 IPPY award) and Living By Ear, both published by Booktrope Editions. She has recently completed a new, still unpublished novel about the impact of violence on society.
She writes about issues that often affect women: eating disorders (she has a long history with EDs), balancing parenting and career, raising kids, and staying healthy. And as a feminist and supporter of women, she encourages survivors of all types to share their stories at @SpeakOurStories on Twitter or at this link: ow.ly/szYf302Yhrn .
Mary grew up in the Massachusetts Merrimack Valley, has a BA in English from Providence College, and has worked as a teacher, a marketing writer, and a political canvasser. She lives with her husband, two teenaged kids, and a variety of pets.
