Summary
Zibby interviews digital media personality Mary Lawless Lee about her stunning photographic memoir Happily Grey: Stories, Souvenirs, and Everyday Wonders from the Life In Between. Mary shares the inspiration behind her book’s unique visual format, the story behind the messy bun (which she invented!), and some of the vulnerable details she shares in her memoir, from living with an eating disorder to her first unsuccessful marriage at 21 to finally finding the perfect life partner and having the children she always hoped for. She also talks about the origins of her iconic fashion and lifestyle blog Happily Grey, her first career in nursing, and her exciting new business ventures.
