ABOUT THE EVENT

Education Room
As far as anyone knew, nothing of any consequence had ever occurred in the quiet town of St. David’s. That is, until someone died under mysterious circumstances. Many years later, when Jordanna Bronson attends college on a beautiful campus in suburban Philadelphia, all is not what it seems to be. As rumors continue to swirl about the death of her cousin, six-year-old Susie Colton, Jordanna is determined to quell the gossip and prove everyone wrong. While digging deeply into her past, what she discovers not only unearths a long-held family secret but turns her own world upside down.
Join us as Mary Cantell discusses her novel and talks about the trials, struggles, and joys of a writer and the world of books and publishing.
Mary Cantell graduated with a B.A. in English Writing, became a radio/TV broadcaster, and sidelined as a newspaper columnist. Her day job found her reporting Philadelphia’s traffic conditions as well as hard news, weather, and sports inside an 8×8 foot booth. It was not so glamorous—at least, not from her vantage point. When she was laid off after 16 years in the news biz (and lost her newspaper column as well, all in the same week), it was obviously a blessing from God to have been given the time to write a novel. “Her Glass Heart” is the result. While resuming another newspaper role as a syndicated columnist of all things A&E-related for the past five years, her freelance writing in every genre has found publication in various magazines and book anthologies. Along with her love for chocolate and playing chess, Mary enjoys mountain hiking with her husband and watching black-and-white film classics.
