We follow Elizabeth Seton, first American-born saint of the Roman Catholic Church, throughout her life. We see how she was influenced by her father, her husband, children, and by a whole galaxy of life-long friends. Woven through this account is the spiritual progress of her life, through her conversion to Catholicism, the founding of the Sisters of Charity, and her work in Maryland. This portrait of a very special woman reveals her as a warm-hearted human with a great gift for friendship.

Review
What the book offers is an insight into the enthusiasm for loving relationships which marked Elizabeth Seton's life. It plunges the reader into the warm, effusive language she used with her friends as she showered them with affection, supported them intimes of trouble, and cajoled them to lives of goodness. It shows the variety of persons and influences which came to play within her life and which ultimately helped to form her into the saint that she became.>>> (The Catholic Historical Review )
