Plainly and Simply

Plainly & Simply chronicles Mary Ann Fuller Young's journey through some of life's most challenging hardships. Derived largely from her personal journals, the book details Young's struggle with alcoholism and the difficulties she faced when her beloved Francis was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Novelist and editor Maudy Benz says "Young's pithy, heart-felt prose enchants." The memoir does not shy from reality; Young puts everything out on the table. Readers dive into her life head-on as she tackles the challenges before her and grows stronger on every page.
