Find out more at https://theseekersforum.com About Beverly Donofrio Beverly Donofrio is an award-winning essayist and memoirist who gained notoriety when her first book, the bestselling Riding in Cars With Boys, appeared at the start of the wave of memoirs that followed. Praised by Variety as a “working class Chekhov,” Bev writes with humor about a dead serious subject: being a teen and a single mother while trying to grow up herself. The movies came knocking before the book was published, and after many years of development, it starred Drew Barrymore, was directed by Penny Marshall, and became a cult classic. When Bev turned forty, despite worldly success, a painful longing awakened a desire to believe in something greater than herself. Her second memoir, Looking For Mary, is Bev’s journey, a pilgrimage of sorts, to faith through the Virgin Mary. Other books include Astonished and, for children, Where’s Mommy? (Mary and the Mouse), Mary and the Mouse, The Mouse and Mary. Bev lectures at universities, libraries, literary festivals, book fairs and is known for touching her audiences with her truth telling and honesty.
