Sounds like a good read! Have you seen the new Cabrini movie?? (https://www.angel.com/movies/cabrini) I was interested in watching but haven't got around to it yet! I might grab the second book you suggested, since I have kindle unlimited right now :)

Oh, I hope you will grab the Kindle and read along! She is such an inspiration! :)

I was thinking of going to see the Cabrini movie when it was in the theater, but the consensus of everyone I talked to was "don't bother"! They said that she was portrayed as a bossy, pushy, feminist humanitarian who wasn't seen to pray, put her faith in God, or have any true supernatural motives. In other words, it was a secularized version of her story. One reviewer said, "They leave out the most important things about her. It's a made-up character with traces of Mother Cabrini." However...

Friends did tell me that this movie about her was good, available to watch free here: https://ondemand.ewtn.com/free/Home/Play/en/381-362060

I haven't checked it out yet, but that might be a good topic for discussion!

Love this fall theme!

I enjoyed Ms. Prim a couple years ago (in fall) with the book club.
