Reviews

"With the insight given by her personal relationship with Carla and her family, the author reveals the complexity of these real human beings that we make into saints without always appreciating the profound inner struggles and personal hardships that framed the decisions they made as missioners, and the courage of their commitments" – Margaret Swedish, co-author of Like Grains of Wheat: A Spirituality of Solidarity
