This is part well researched history lesson and part personal memoir. Having been raised Catholic I understood many of the author’s feelings and thoughts about Catholicism and the church. The author considers himself a former Catholic, and is no longer a believer.
I originally requested this book because I remember my mother telling me stories about the shepherd children who saw and heard from the Virgin Mary and I was curious to hear more information. I was satisfied, and believe many Catholics and former Catholics would be as well.
Thank you Netgalley and Knopf for the opportunity to read and review this ARC.
