What most people dont know, however, is that the seeds of her novel had been planted long before that night. By age nineteen, she had been disowned by her family, was living in scandal with a married man, and had lost her baby daughter just days after her birth. Mary poured her grief, pain, and passion into the powerful book still revered two hundred years later, and in Marys Monster, author/illustrator Lita Judge has poured her own passion into a gorgeous book that pays tribute to the life of this incredible author. n nA 2019 NCSS-CBC Notable Social Studies Trade Book nA 2019 Amelia Bloomer Project Book n nThis title has Common Core connections.n
