description: "Why me?" Marie asked with an intensity that stunned the old priest. "Why was I chosen for this, for any of these things that have happened in my life? I'm nothing special. I'm no different from anyone else." "I can't answer that, my friend," the retired priest feebly tried to answer the woman beside him, a woman he had known as a friend for many years. "Only God knows the answer to those questions. I'm just an old priest. I don't have the answers you are seeking." "My life has been filled with such extremes. I've know extreme poverty and neglect as well as extraordinary wealth and attention. I've achieved success on a level others could only dream about. My life has been filled with repeated abuse and violation on one hand along with the worldwide adoration and love on the other. It has been an extraordinary journey. The hand of God has been all over my life since I was a child. I've never questioned that. God has been physically and spiritually present and active throughout my life. Others actively strive and seek a connection to the divine for years without success. My connection was simply there. Throughout everything that happened to me I knew, beyond any doubt whatsoever, that God was by my side. Through the assaults and violations He was there. In the lonely years He was there, just as He was through the extraordinary wealth and the highest of spiritual giftedness." The Green Scapula is an intense book outlining the simple and childlike faith of an extraordinary woman. It is also a unique look at the dynamics involved in long-term and enduring friendships as well as an in-depth look at the devastating effects of Emotional Deprivation Disorder. The Green Scapula will remain within the reader's heart and mind for a long time to come.
