In this historical account, the author examines the history and legacy of the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, a Catholic religious congregation founded in Kentucky in 1812. From their early work caring for orphans and the sick to their later expansion into education and social services, the Sisters of Charity have had a profound impact on the communities they serve. With heartfelt testimonials and anecdotes from the sisters themselves, this book is a moving tribute to the power of faith and service.
