Editorial reviews

In this authorized biography of St. Mary of the Cross, Lesley O’Brien weaves a compelling and revelatory tapestry of the first recognized Catholic saint of Australia, who wasn’t without flaws but was passionately resolute in her egalitarian, self-sacrificial convictions and unafraid to stand up to the perceived hypocrisy of Catholic establishment of the time.

From her humble roots as a teenager working as a store clerk in Melbourne to her controversial excommunication from the Church, Jenny Seedsman’s vibrant performance enlivens this refreshingly humanistic and candid portrait of Australia’s only recognized Catholic saint.
