Mary Batson, M.A., is the gardener behind FrontPorchRambles.
A writer, teacher, storyteller, and a big fan of apple butter, Mary weaves stories about grandmas and fresh biscuits and rocking chairs and talking trees – stories that remind us of comfort, home and hope. Based on her own journey, Mary also tells stories about finding ourselves, finding others, and finding Spirit, and offers workshops, talks, and performances on the themes introduced in her first spiritual fiction novel Going Home – what is home, how do we get there, and how does everything in between reflect this journey?
Having faced the challenges she now spins yarns about, Mary is not afraid to take her readers there with her, with the hope they’ll all come out better on the other side. Additional publications include Going Home: The Tour LIVE, a collection of award-winning songs and stories from the Going Home stage show, and “Gran’s Apple Butter Blog,” available in your very own inbox. Several books are in the works, including the children's series, which will complete the vision – Front Porch Rambles and Backyard Swings. Coming soon: The Patchwork Heart: Finding the Courage to Love Again and Gran’s Big Book of Short Stories.
All in all, Mary is proud to carry on Gran's tale-spinning, apple-peeling heritage. If you’re in the mood for a story, or just want a good, old-fashioned apple butter recipe, stop by Gran’s front porch – they love company.
