Maddie's in the Middle

Skewes, Mariah Clark: - "Mariah Clark Skewes, known in her real life as Mary Boyle, hopes to raise the understanding of individuals with learning, behavioral and mental health differences through her whimsical and touching books written for children, teens, and adults. Mariah/Mary is the proud parent of four unique successful grown children. Her degrees in Psychology and Special Education guided both her parenting and her work with children as a teacher and school administrator, specializing in connecting with kiddos who presented the greatest challenges - yet yielded the greatest rewards. She and her husband live on a vineyard in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Northern California where they grow wine grapes and raise honeybees and Babydoll Southdown Sheep. When not writing, she enjoys volunteering as a CASA with children in the foster care system, competing in world marathons and travelling."
