The Politics of Women's Health
Examines the real world of women's health status and health-care delivery in different countries, and the assumptions behind the dominant medical model of solving problems without regard to social conditions. This book asks what feminist health-care ethics looks like if we start with women's experiences and concerns.
The Mass in My Life
The Mass in My Life is the story of a Catholic laywoman's lifelong experience of the Mass. She recaptures childhood experiences, traces a path to adulthood, and in her elder years finds a wondrous gratitude for the Mass. Along the way, family, friends, pastors, favorite authors, and the Mass itself lighten her way as she seeks, in the words of an old missal, "the God who is the joy of my youth." Personal and family memories are recalled side-by-side with selected prayers of the Mass from her collection of missals that covers seven decades. The meaning of the Mass unfolds as the years go by, marked by ordinary days as well as rites of passage. Each chapter focuses on a milestone or period in the author's life and a prayer from the Order of the Mass. The two themes, life and Mass, interweave chronologically in a unique twofold structure. There are rich and sometimes troubling memories of personal and family life here, but always an attentive longing for the Mass which the author sees as the transforming experience of her life.
Love Was There
For everyone who needs and believes, or doesn't believe, in miracles, my memoir, Love Was There: A Testimony of Faith, is a must read. If you need God's divine mercy, you should read this book. If you need a reminder of how much God loves you, you should read this book. If you need to know that God is with you every step of the way on your journey of a lifetime, you should read this book. If you need to believe that prayer is powerful, read this book. I wrote this spiritual memoir to give testimony to God's love and mercy and to give my readers hope and inspiration. It's a true story tracing my spiritual growth from childhood through my personal Pentecost transformation. My faith evolved and deepened after being miraculously cured of stage four cancer at a Catholic Healing Mass where I rested in the Spirit. The focus of my memoir is on miracles I've witnessed throughout my life, the faith that sustained me during my suffering, the love manifested in suffering, and my evolving relationship with God.

Carved Splendor
"The color photographs, specially commissioned for this project, are an essential feature of the book. Each altarpiece is illustrated in its entirety, with its wings both opened and closed, and in close-up views of its most important carvings and paintings - details that are not available to the average visitor to these sites."--BOOK JACKET.
When the Sisters Said Farewell
When the Sisters Said Farewell tells an important story of the contributions of Catholic elementary schools to the United States by chronicling the experiences and insights of religious women (nuns) who were the last members of their communities to serve in parish elementary schools, and of those lay men and women who were the first to serve in those roles traditionally filled by the sisters. The dramatic numerical transition from the preponderance of religious women to lay leadership from the 1960s to the 1980s has been documented; this book describes the how and why sisters left Catholic schools. This narrative also provides instructive insights about leadership, transitions, and current trends in religious life and Catholic education. As all educators in Catholic, private, and public schools grapple with questions of delivering an excellent education, this book offers a glimpse into the workings of one of the most amazing educational enterprises in the history of the United States.
