Book Reviews

Scarred by Trouble, Transformed by Hope By Joan Chittister

​This is another welcome book owned by Alan Wilson and it is my favourite by Sister Joan Chittister so far, as it follows her own personal life and the struggles of her soul from which light has arisen, through hope and faith in our Lord. What particularly spoke to me was her struggle with her writing talent. From initial experience of four years in an iron lung, to being bitterly disappointed by her Mother Superior as a young nun thwarting her acceptance of the IOWA Workshop scholarship, her life unravels. I won’t give it all away but if you have read her other books and want to know why and how do beg Alan to borrow this mighty epistle. 
Thank you Alan, thank you Joan. It was a succinct and very satisfying read.
