Our Story
Mary Johnson Vandenberge
Mary Johnson Vandenberge is a “wear your heart on your sleeve” kind of woman, an unapologetic bookworm, and an online shopping champion. She devours murder mysteries in every form – whether in books or podcasts – with an enthusiasm that even surprises herself. Raised on a farm near St. Marys in Southwestern Ontario, she now resides in Petrolia, Ontario’s scenic “banana belt”.
Mary is a proud advocate for women’s rights and believes in the power of personal truth. Being Mary is her debut memoir, capturing the often-silent struggles of marriage, motherhood, family, and faith.
She hints there may be sequels, as she knows life’s story never ends – it only deepens.

This is a true testament of Mary’s love for Casey and her family. I know Mary personally and truly admire everything she endured with her past relationships, family and marriage to Casey.
I would recommend reading “Being Mary”. Gives an insight into how she coped with the different addictions she had to deal with. Well written!
