A Beautiful Book

This is a absolutely breath-takingly beautiful tribute to the dedicated and Holy women who dedicated their lives to teaching Catholic children. Nuns are the unfortunate victims of a lot of untrue lies and vicious anger, thank God for a book that celebrates them for the priceless treasure they are. I shudder to think what the Church and the world would be like without the dedication and love of these women. Anyone who loves being Catholic and loves the nuns needs to read this book.

A glowing tribute to the dedicated nuns who taught her...

..."Thank You, Sister is a nostalgic, yet honest look into the academic and social life of a young Catholic girl in the '60's. Beverly remembers everything I had forgotten. A delightful read.

I had forgotten so much!

This was a great refresher of memories from Catholic school that I had filed away for too long! Beverly did a great job of using the details to remind us of the bigger picture --- how fortunate we are to have been educated by people so dedicated, so loving, and so faithful to God. This is an awesome tribute, and a humorous and touching light read. Thank you, BVMs! And thank you, Beverly.

With all the various controversies. . .

. . .swirling around the Catholic Church today, "Thank you, Sister" is a beautiful and refreshing change.Neither deep theology, nor modern controversy, "Thank you, Sister" is the loving memoir of a woman who spent 8 years in Catholic grammar school in the late 1950's and early 1960's. The author credits her own loving upbringing to her own eventual decision to become a teacher herself.There is a lot of evil in the world, and some of it is in the Church itself. This book serves as a powerful reminder that there is -- and ever has been -- far more good than evil, and that good will ultimately triumph.A heartwarming read.
