Mary Mackillop: an Extraordinary Australian: the Authorised Biography / Paul Gardiner SJ

For the first time, here are all the facts - heartbreaking yet inspiring - about the dynamic foundress of the Australian Sisters of St Joseph. This is the only authorised biography by the Vatican's official Postulator for the cause of her sainthood, and it hides none of the shocking treatment Mary received from certain bishops and priests, nor any of her mental, physical and emotional suffering. Yet she still comes across as a strong, tender woman of boundless energy, who was prepared to go through anything to help anyone in need. An unforgettable story
