"Among the many biographies of my mom, this one is my favorite" (Gianna Emanuela, daughter of Saint Gianna Beretta Molla). Saint Gianna Beretta Molla (1922-1962) was a devoted pediatrician, wife, and mother. She loved and served God in the simplest, humblest gestures of her family life and professional life, and she knew what it meant to juggle the demands of both worlds. In this revised and expanded edition of her first biography of Gianna ("A Woman's Life"), journalist Giuliana Pelucchi enriches her portrait of this amazing woman with new, profound insights, including more first-hand interviews with Saint Gianna's closest relatives and beloved husband, and touching testimonies from those who knew her best. Learn how Saint Gianna joyfully lived her relationship with Christ as a wife, mother, and medical professional, and how she embraced the call to holiness with adventure and class as an avid hiker and skier, a talented artist, and a musician. By keeping her relationship with God at the center of her life, Saint Gianna teaches us how to let grace affect all our decisions, from the smallest to the most difficult, so that Christ can live in us.
