Mary Nuzum Dolim (August 15, 1925 – January 15, 2002) was an American children's writer. She published four books and penned several articles and short stories. Mary Dolim was noted for writing about the Southern United States and for writing about career women in the 1960s.
Mary Dolim was married to Abel Dolim (1922–2012), an airplane navigator who later became a builder, with whom she had a son and a daughter. They lived in the San Francisco East Bay Area.
Mary Dolim knows her Southern country people and writes movingly of them in this story of a summer in the life of the Boggs family of Northern Florida, a summer whose heat was 'so thick it was sliceable.'
Mary Dolim's special gift for career novels has already been demonstrated in her highly successful story of a student teacher.
