Editor reviews

In this authorized biography of St. Mary of the Cross, Lesley O’Brien weaves a compelling and revelatory tapestry of the first recognized Catholic saint of Australia, who wasn’t without flaws but was passionately resolute in her egalitarian, self-sacrificial convictions and unafraid to stand up to the perceived hypocrisy of Catholic establishment of the time.

From her humble roots as a teenager working as a store clerk in Melbourne to her controversial excommunication from the Church, Jenny Seedsman’s vibrant performance enlivens this refreshingly humanistic and candid portrait of Australia’s only recognized Catholic saint.
All stars

A must-read for every Catholic today. A life of perseverance in the faith despite the erring humanity of individuals within the Church. Written before her canonisation, this book gives a wonderful, balanced account of her life with all its ups and downs. It demonstrates that to be a Catholic trying to live the Gospel does not mean that one will escape suffering, misunderstandings, jealousy, discouragement and slander. In fact, it illustrates that these are the path to Sainthood.

A truly inspiring life
