review: Editorial Reviews Review "An astonishing story of one woman's moral leadership in collaboration with communities of her dedicated Sisters. The church and world are still in desperate need of such courageous speaking, born of deep faith and great kindness. Sparks fly out from this book to inspire a new generation." -- Elizabeth Johnson, CSJ, Distinguished Professor of Theology Emerita, Fordham University "It's been a long time since I've felt so good reading a book.... With the publication of this fine biography, it becomes undeniable, were there ever a question, that Theresa Kane personifies the best of feminine church leadership. Make that church leadership." -- Tom Fox, CEO/President, National Catholic Reporter "Theresa Kane is a person remembered for the simple manner in which she engaged the ordinary experiences of her own story and, in doing so, embodied an age." -- Helen Marie Burns, RSM, former president LCWR (1988-91) and Vice President, Sisters of Mercy 1984-91, 1999-2005 About the Author Christine Schenk, CSJ, a Sister of St. Joseph, has worked as a nurse midwife to low-income families, a community organizer, and the founding director of an international church reform organization, FutureChurch.
