Mary L. King (1956- ) is an American novelist who engages readers with characters who have physical disabilities. A special-needs mother, personal care attendant, and former rehabilitation center employee, she offers an expressive and intelligent approach to her work, explaining rehabilitation therapies, describing medical procedures, and managing the daily drama of living with teenagers.
Ms. King's interest in physical medicine began in 1982, while employed with Cathedral Rehabilitation Center in Jacksonville, Florida. As a volunteer after hours, she gained further hands-on experience in physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and respiratory therapy. During her time at the center, the state of Florida recognized Mary King for developing a driver education program designed exclusively for persons with disabilities.
The youngest of three children, Ms. King grew up with family members living with disabilities. She holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Jacksonville University.
Now a full-time primary caregiver to her adult daughter, Mary King enjoys gardening, crafting, cooking, music, online research, and reading. She lives in northwest Florida and dedicates much of her time to writing novels for The McFadden Series.
