Love, Mary is a television movie that first aired on CBS-TV on 8 October 1985, before being telecasted worldwide in syndication. This true story is based on the life of Dr.Mary Groda-Lewis Kristy McNichol who, as a lonely and poor child--from a family of poor farm workers in Portland, Oregon--was always involved in trouble with juvenile authorities for many petty crimes she kept getting caught for. Her main problem was that she hated to go to school because she had a hard time reading.
After getting many breaks from juvenile authorities that did not incarcerate her, Mary's crime spree finally came to an end when her good luck ran-out. She and another troubled male teen got caught while they were joy-riding with a stolen car that they crashed. That was enough for the Judge who had no choice but to incarcerate Mary this time, and for a long time.
Following a Social Worker-Councelor who, at the lock-up where Mary was taken to, took an interest in Mary and had her tested with a reading skill-set to see why Mary had had serious reading problems. The councelor's finding was that Mary had been born with the problem of Dyslexia (when you see words or write words backwords). This finding convinced Mary to not only listen to her councelor but to keep trusting her as she got Mary out of the lock-up and back into school. From that point on, even with many problems that plagued Mary, she began to fight her way through with each and every impediment, including her reading, and she was advanced into college, making up for many lost years. Why she is known as "Love, Mary" to the enlarging of her family becomes a wonderful triumphed over tragedy.
