Mary's Turning Point

Life can be full of ups and downs. The unexpected can happen and in the blink of an eye your life is forever changed. Mary Watson experienced a change when she was laid off. This was not her fiirst time; she had been there before. It’s just that this time finding a job seemed impossible.
