Mother Teresa and Me

Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle will never forget the first time she laid eyes on Mother Teresa of Calcutta. Hunched, frail, shorter than one of Donna’s own children, the aging servant of the poorest of the poor cut an unassuming figure awaiting the start of Mass with her Missionary of Charity sisters. They would speak briefly after the liturgy — Mother Teresa wanted to meet the mother of such reverent and grace-filled children — and then spend the next 10 years intermittently sharing hopes, dreams and prayers through the mail and in face-to-face conversations. With Mother Teresa and Me, Donna-Marie invites you to step insider her deeply personal experiences with one of the greatest souls of modern times. Take her up on the offer and don’t be surprised if you, too, find your heart blessed and your soul inspired by the diminutive nun who left an enormous impression on Donna-Marie — and on the whole world.
