Marianne Perry is a seasoned world traveler, optimist and family oriented Northern Ontario, Canadian author.

A second generation Canadian-Italian, Marianne’s interest in her Calabrian-Sicilian roots has fuelled her genealogical research to solve family mysteries. Along with researching family history, Marianne’s writing reflects her extensive traveling, a passion for adventure, an interest in establishing connections and a yearning to understand our world.

THE CHASE

What if Anna was in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease? Or, were the nightmares simply the result of emotional and physical fatigue from juggling a demanding career, long-distance relationship with her adult children, and helping the family care for her increasingly frail mother?

But what if an ominous element was encircling Anna? How else had a startling holograph will from a beloved uncle who died twenty-five years ago suddenly surfaced? What explanation accounted for Anna receiving a 1900 land deed for an unidentified tract of land somewhere in Europe? And who had mailed Anna a letter revealing alarming family truths?

The Chase is a thrilling tale of deceit and treachery that unfolds in North America, Sweden, Switzerland, Italy, and South America. It confronts our deepest fears and raises the possibility of beginning anew.
