This authorized biography offers the public all the facts about Mary MacKillop's eventful life. MacKillop is the foundress of the Australia Sisters of St Joseph. The author is the official Postulator at the Vatican for the cause of her sainthood, and is charged with the task of presenting Mary's life and holiness to the Vatican. This book hides none of the shocking treatment Mary received at the hands of certain bishops and priests, nor the physical, mental and emotional sufferings that were part of her daily life. Yet, the overall picture that emerges is of an energetic, forthright battler who would go through anything to serve the poor and educate their children.
