A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In the great tradition of such monumental spiritual memoirs as The Confessions of St. Augustine, The Dark Night of the Soul, and Thomas Merton s The Seven Storey Mountain finally comes one that s REALLY, REALLY FUNNY. Susan Tunney s marriage is hanging by a thread, her career is in a dead stall, the nursery is still empty despite seven years of being pinched, poked, prodded, and preached to by every on-the-make M.D. on the East Coast, and now her two best friends are about to be captured by the convent and the Communists respectively. OK, maybe she can t have it all, but this is ridiculous. So Tunney decides to go right to the top. The big man, the Vicar of Christ on earth, el papa de tutti papas. We ll do breakfast and just get this life moving...now! After all, this is one Catholic girl who has earned her kneepads the old-fashioned way: praying for a miracle. Why shouldn t it be her turn? Tunney s quest for a little justice from a God she is too mad at to give up on, swings from hilarity to heartbreak, and perhaps ultimately to redemption. On the way she confronts all the dilemmas of modern womanhood, with one complication: It s the old story of a woman who loves too much, only this time the guy isn t just impossible, he s invisible. Tunney s combination of deep faith, frankness about the times being a Christian just plain stinks, and take-no-prisoners humor will appeal to readers who like their Christianity without the treacle. And her moving portrait of Pope John Paul II (along with a few trademark Tunney misadventures on the Papal turf) will be cherished by all who honor his memory.
