Your story is far bigger than one of religion

Words cannot express how much I enjoyed your book. I listened to you - loved hearing your words in your voice - and there were many times where I did not want to shut off the car. I was enthralled by your story and not surprised that religious work in not altruistic. Your struggle between your own values, which I believe were pure to the mission, and those of the sisterhood, were stark and not too different from what happens in big bureaucracies - mission takes a backseat to personal agends. You have a wonderful story and it is far bigger than one of religion - everyone would benefit from reading your book. Thank you for putting your experience down in words and for being who you are!
