| Description: |
A family shattered by addiction and tragedy discovers their great-grandmother's forgotten manuscript, revealing the remarkable story of Australia's saint-in-waiting, Eileen O'Connor. In this inspirational dual-timeline novel, Kate Clinch intertwines the lives of a contemporary family with the extraordinary true story of a woman whose cause for sainthood is now active in Rome.
Set against the turmoil of World War I and the Spanish Flu pandemic, Eileen endures tuberculosis, partial paralysis, and relentless pain. She refuses to let her disabilities define her and follows her calling to provide free nursing care to Sydney's poorest residents, challenging the Catholic hierarchy along the way.
Richly drawn fictional characters bring warmth and depth to this moving historical narrative of courage, compassion, and unwavering faith. A friend who believes Eileen is a living saint records her story, leaving behind a forgotten account that resurfaces a century later, bringing hope, healing, and unexpected miracles.
