A book for the journey

This book offers the story of Edwina Gately's journey to start Genesis House, a shelter for female prostitutes. It is a thoughtful book which can open up spaces and conversations for the reader's own spiritual journey.

Deeply Touching

From time to time we encounter people with extraordinary ability to shake us from complacency. I found that Edwina Gateley's story did just that. Yet, even in the midst of potential despair, this book shines with hope and faith. Inspiring and life giving. I highly recommend this book!
