If you are looking for a companion who will open your eyes, cause you to question and make you laugh -- and think -- this short, sweet, episodic and surprisingly deep book is for you. - This delightful little book is so engaging. It's not "churchy" religious, it's more one woman's story as she becomes fascinated with the incredible accomplishments of some of the women saints, who changed the world in eras when women had no power and limited opportunities. And it's Carroll's personal journey as she tries to learn from these women about how to be a better person and navigate empty nesthood. A quick, fun read that's both entertaining and inspiring.
- This simple and short book is full of delights, mixed with laugh out loud moments (actually one after another), the most compelling descriptions of the women among the Catholic Saints and the author's quite beautiful spiritual travels. It is the perfect book to escape into, and trust me on this, you will emerge full of wonder. Quite simply a great read!
- I absolutely loved Mary Lea Carroll‘s delightful “St. Everywhere.†Her inquisitive nature leads her on a journey to always keep learning, even when on vacation, and the results are both deeply personal and genuinely fascinating. Carroll manages to bring to life these women from past eras and place their deeds in the context of our modern world. A sweet, easy to read book that will warm your soul and inspire you, even if you’re not Catholic!
