This story just blew me away--after i finished i wanted to start all over and read it again. There is so much in her life that Mother Antonia has shared with others. More people than can ever be counted. Not just the ones she has come into contact with, but the ones that took her teachings with them to others and the ones who of course, have read this book. A person seeming just ordinary is never what they seem--this woman has proven this all on her terms, she has changed lives on this earth--how many of us can say this? One of the best reads i've ever had the pleasure of indulging in.

A wonderful story of a life lived in service to others. Hope is kept alive in the souls of one like Mother Antonia.Her life's story cuts through the politics of social justice and gets to the heart of what one's response should be in the eyes of injustice---love, love deeply.
