Marlee Becket was an ordinary girl who grew up in the Midwest, in the shadow of a professional football team during the 1960s and 1970s. An early life event altered her story. Or did it? Could this have been intended for her from the beginning?
After a brief encounter with a mature Marlee, her story begins in 1964 in Green Bay, Wisconsin. She is three years old, and it is the eve of a heartbreaking tragedy. Soon, the girl’s rebellious nature is revealed. She lives as if nothing bad will happen because the bad thing has already happened. Growing up in a simpler time, with eighty-six kids on her street and thirty-five first cousins on one side of her family, Marlee’s story provides plenty of fodder to run with. And run she does! She will make readers gasp, laugh, and cry as she candidly navigates her Catholic upbringing.
Firmly grounded in the belief that everyone has but one chance to live the life they are offered, Marlee’s story will inspire hope. Part memoir, part historical fiction, An Ordinary Girl’s Life is a beautiful and fun ride.
