I was gifted this book last year and was so happy to finally read it. It was a beautiful memoir about a woman’s journey through her career, marriage, struggle with infertility, and dealing with grief, loss, and hope. It also touches on the women of faith who made an impact and inspired her in the midst of each season of her life.
I’d recommend this to any young woman who is wondering how to reconcile the desire for both a thriving career and motherhood. And if anyone has dealt with infertility or the loss of a parent, it’s moving to hear Colleen share her story with such openness and vulnerability.

From the back cover:
A poignant and powerful spiritual memoir about how the lives of the saints changed the life of a modern woman.
In My Sisters the Saints, author Colleen Carroll Campbell blends her personal narrative of spiritual seeking, trials, stumbles, and breakthroughs with the stories of six women saints who profoundly changed her life: Teresa of Avila, Therese of Lisieux, Faustina of Poland, Edith Stein of Germany, Mother Teresa of Calcutta, and Mary of Nazareth. Drawing upon the rich writings and examples of these extraordinary women, the author reveals Christianity's liberating power for women and the relevance of the saints to the lives of contemporary Christians.
