I was raised in Christian Science so I’ve always known who Mary Baker Eddy was. But it was not until I reached Boston that I began to really learn more about her life and see what she went through.
I’ve begun to delve into biographies and have walked the Longyear exhibits over and over again, soaking up as much information as I can. On the surface I have learned more facts such as her birth date, who was in her family, when they were born, and the ages Mary was when she got married all 3 times. But it is the deeper research that is truly enlightening me and making me realize the struggle and perseverance that went into her life.
