Growing up bullied and poor, nine-year-old Mary Schmidt's life hasn't been easy. But everything changes on a fateful summer's night in 1947 when she stumbles upon a crashed alien spaceship and its lone surviving passenger. After the alien is discovered by others, Mary makes a split-second decision to blast off into space with the alien's rescue team.
Meanwhile, back on Earth, it is now the 1960s and Mary's younger brother George has grown up seeking answers about her disappearance. As George delves into the mystery surrounding his sister's sudden departure, he uncovers secrets that stretch far beyond the confines of their small town.
MARY & THE ALIENS spans generations, weaving together threads of friendship, courage, and self-reliance. Part One delves into the darkness of escapism and trauma, while Part Two explores themes of resilience and the strength found in overcoming adversity, and how the darkest moments can ultimately lead to growth and empowerment.
