Mary Casey lives in Ireland with her loyal companion Lucy, a golden Labrador, always by her side. In her early thirties, Mary felt dissatisfied with life and she was tired of renting. She longed for the freedom of having her own house so she took responsibility and control of her own life. After successfully purchasing a house, Mary had another burning desire: to write a novel. With this novel she hopes to inspire other single people to take action on their dream of homeownership. Mary has also honoured the memory of her unforgettable friend, a gentle soul who always reminded her to have a grateful heart. Mary holds a bachelor degree in Business Studies and Human Resource Management. She has recently completed a life coaching course, having always been passionate about personal development. She sees the value of self-care and having a growth mindset.
