Marian Christy

Marian Christy (COM’56) of Belmont, Mass., an artist and author, published her first novel, Dumbbell (White Bird Publications, 2020), about severe bullying at home. “I’m 87 years old and of course wish I’d been able to create this timely book in an earlier decade,” she writes, “but destiny always has its own plans. The main character is 10 years old when the story begins and is 21 when she, the dumbbell, redeems herself in her own way, using the power of instinct and intuition to amazing advantage.” Visit www.marian-christy.com.
