But the more books I crammed into our bookshelves, the more apparent it became that the majority of saint novels (often reprints from the 40’s and 50’s) are agonizingly dull. I’ve invested more money than I care to admit, always hoping, of course, to find stories that would not only inspire my children to love and imitate these incredible heroes and heroines of God, but, more importantly, make them realize that the saints were true flesh-and-blood human beings who started out with the same struggles, temptations and weaknesses that plague every one of us since Adam bit that stupid apple. ![]() How does your storytelling compare to the style of other stories of the saints?Īs a mother of eleven, I’ve read an awful lot of books about saints over the years, believe me. They are lively, gritty, and despite the time periods, relatable. ![]() Your novels fly in the face of the mistaken notion that saint stories are dry, boring, or irrelevant to modern life. ![]()
