The first commercial, in-depth biography of Father Michael McGivney, the American-born Roman Catholic priest who may well be declared a saint. . . . Delightful. . . . No magisterial biography emanating a suffocating aura of pomp and self-importance, this book is as low-key and as uplifting as Father Michael McGivney himself.Calgary Herald

In a time of discrimination and poverty for Catholics across 19th-century America, Father Michael McGivney (1852-1890), began a legacy of hope that continues to this day.
