OMG, how can I forget the book by the same author that wrote "Marley and me" "The longest Road Home" (I think) It was AWSOME. About growing up in a very Catholic home and his turning away from his family's faith. A MUST read! I cried and laughed, and in my world that makes it a great book (or movie)
"Life with Mother Superior" by Jane Trahey. It was the basis for "The Trouble with Angels" starring Hayley Mills.
Antonia White's "Frost in May" and the three following books in the Quartet, but start with "Frost in May" (originally published in 1933, currently available in a Virago Modern Classics reprint).
Thank you Michael, I have never heard of that book and will have to get it.
Well, there is "Growing Up Catholic" by Mary Jane Cavolina, Jeffrey Allen Joseph Stone, Maureen Anne Teresa Kelly and Richard Glen Michael Davis, also, The John Powers books: The Last Catholic in America, Do Black Patent Leaether shoes Really Reflect Up?, and The Unoriginal Sinner and the Ice Cream God. All good reads, especially the Powers books.
