Residents of 18th century Canada, a land they called “New France,” initially may have said that Marguerite d’Youville had been “born under a lucky star.” She was the eldest of six children from a notable family, was said to be beautiful and was recorded by the nuns at the Ursuline Academy to be an outstanding student. At home she was a loving nanny to her younger siblings, and a very welcome participant with her peers at social events. She loved good company and was looking forward to her wedding when her mother surprised her by eloping with a newcomer to Montreal that socially squelched Marguerite’s wedding plans. Subsequently, Marguerite’s second engagement resulted in marriage to an apparently acceptable man which proved to be a bitter disillusion, yet ultimately became influential in her spiritual growth. The initial reaction from the townspeople was to hurl stones at Marguerite and her helpmates. This is the story of her life and path to sainthood.

It is impossible not to root for Ceti, almost fifteen, who tells her story of growing up in shelters, learning soccer from her Gramps, and sleeping in her Mom's red truck where they listened over and over to Rolling Stones discs someone left behind. Following in the steps of her hero, Lionel Messi, Ceti is a shooting star on the field. A U.S. scout is coming to watch her play in the State Championship; she has Ruby, her best friend since kindergarten rooting for her, and a crush on a boy who lives in her building, Will. But at home, she'll find a spoon in the sink, a ball of tin foil and a needle in the trash. Her Mom, who used to be beautiful with her long honey hair and green eyes is now wasted and track-marked. And she is pregnant. Ceti's life goes up and down with a mother who wants only the next high. Her Mom's menacing and goofy boyfriend Foxface is always hounding Ceti; their junky friends start a fire in Ceti's apartment; and on the day of the semifinals, Ceti finds her Mom bleeding profusely. She steals a new iPhone for her Mom but is caught and disqualified from playing in the Championship game. Then Ruby decides on private school for next year, and Will stops hanging out with Ceti. When her Mom promises they can start over in New Hampshire, Ceti is hopeful. Instead, she finds her Mom has overdosed. Ceti, too, would be one more dream slipping away if she didn't have the courage to hold on to what she loves the most.

Many of our loved ones have become lost in a sea of confusion and have wandered far from the faith. In a collection, created for Catholics, Mary Sullivan shares heartfelt and lyrical prayers for loved ones. These prayers bring encouragement, peace, and surrender to those craving help and mercy from God. They provide hope that it is possible to bring back those who have wandered-it is possible to bring them back to the Sacraments, to the Church and most of all back to the arms of our loving and merciful God. Also included are Bible verses that draw the faithful towards God's Word as the source of all truth. Robert Cardinal Sarah, Prefect for the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments has stated that: ""Now more than ever faithful Christians need to use all the tools at their disposal to win back souls for Christ. PRAYING OUR LOVED ONES HOME TO THE CHURCH is one such aid in assisting people to seek out the lost and bring them back into the fold.""

GOOD INTENTIONS Journalist Nadine Campbell set out to write a feel-good piece on Rodeo’s own rancher-Rembrandt, Zach Brandt—not a sensational expose. She’d come back from New York to heal, not hurt. And Zach and his adorable twin boys were helping more than she’d ever dreamed possible! But a feel-good piece wasn’t about to save her job. Zach didn’t want to be interviewed. But he did want Nadine. Always had, ever since high school. Back then, he couldn’t compete with the journalistic ambition he knew would take her away. Now that she’d returned, he had a second chance—and he wasn’t about to squander it. Opening up to her was a risk worth taking. Or so he thought….

GOOD INTENTIONS

Mary had so many questions for God. The questions, anger and pain intensified throughout the years and seemed overwhelming. If God knew her life before she was even born then why did He allow her to be molested as a child? Why did He allow her to go through with an abortion? Could she go on living a lie the rest of her life? Was there any hope? Could God ever forgive her? Could she ever forgive herself or other people that were involved? Would she ever see her child again? Those profound events that reshaped her life would forever be with her. She searched the bible for answers. Her story tells you how it affected her life, the babys life and others involved. With abortion there are several people involved like the father, doctors, nurses or maybe even the person that helped make the decision? I Was Once Ashamed But I Am Now Forgiven helps you find answers and forgiveness.

She’s willing to pitch in, but bonding with the kids starts to feel a lot like being a family. And that’s not something Honey has ever let herself dream about—no matter how tempting Cole is…
