Going Home Another Way tells a story a young girl who grew up in total dis-function in her home and religious upbringing. At the age of nine, she started having visions and vivid dreams. Then, she heard a Voice that guided her through many dangers and other hardships. After the death of her mother, her life changed. She had to rely on the Voice more than ever. Upon reaching adulthood, she became engulfed with the wiles of the world. She was lost and afraid. Much like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, who only had to click her heels in order to go back home, Mary only had to obey the Voice, pick up a pen and paper to write her way back Home. The pen is mightier than the Sword.
