Ordinary Mary's Extraordinary Deed

Can one good deed from one ordinary girl change the world? It can when she’s Ordinary Mary—an ordinary girl from an ordinary school, on her way to her ordinary house—who stumbles upon ordinary blueberries. When she decides to pick them for her neighbor, Mrs. Bishop, she starts a chain reaction that multiplies around the world. Mrs. Bishop makes blueberry muffins and gives them to her paperboy and four others—one of whom is Mr. Stevens, who then helps five different people with their luggage—one of whom is Maria, who then helps five people—including a man named Joseph who didn’t have enough money for his groceries—and so on, until the deed touches every single person on the planet and finally comes back to Mary.

Ordinary Mary’s Extraordinary Deed author Emily Pearson grew up singing and dancing, first in Utah and then in the San Francisco Bay area.

After majoring in Musical Theater in college, where she performed throughout the British Isles, Emily moved to Los Angeles and worked in television and film for two years. Later, with her husband and two children, Emily lived in Connecticut where she performed for two summers with Connecticut Repertory Theater, receiving a double “Best Actress in a Musical” nomination from the Connecticut Critics Circle. She also worked for several years as managing director of Main Street Movie Co., a producer and distributor of independent films.
