Praise

"A heartfelt, personal story of the gradual awakening of a woman who comes to see that preferring the 'human to the perfect' does not alienate her from authentic spirituality but allows her to live more fully."

Kathleen Norris,
author of The Cloister Walk

In 1983, the Vatican issued a new code of Canon Law, and mandated that all congregations of sisters update their Constitutions.  For the Missionaries of Charity, this job fell to me, which I found truly terrifying.  Mother had written the original Constitutions on her knees, eight years before I was born.
