Focusing on the qualities that enabled these ordinary men and women to face extraordinary challenges and knowledge, faith, hope, charity, patience, serenity, truth, and humility, Giannetti and Sagarese draw parallels between the real-life struggles parents face today and those endured by the saints. They shed light on how these virtues can strengthen resolve, temper anger, restore energy, and teach parents how to communicate with their children openly and honestly. The stories of the saints bring parents the solace and the wisdom they need to take the leap of faith that will turn their lives, and their children’s futures, around.
