It’s here! The cover and final title for my next book, due out in the spring. I think the folks at Franciscan Media really outdid themselves with this one.
That’s Jacinta Marto, one of the children of Fatima, who died in 1920 just shy of her 10th
birthday. How can a child be radical, you ask? Well, having seen a vision of hell during one apparition, Jacinta focused on interceding on the behalf of sinners. She went from a chatty child to a witness for Christ. Jacinta’s life was radical in that it was different from the usual child’s. It was also radical in the sense that her faith went to the roots of Christianity, the suffering of Jesus and of his Blessed Mother.

Interspersed are the stories of some radical women I know today. I hope you will learn as much in reading about them as I have in writing about them.
