The Devil Buys a Convent

De: Kathy Foley

Narrado por: Brooke Simmons

In this powerful memoir by the fourth child and eldest surviving daughter of the family, Kathy Foley tells a heartfelt story of love and faith, tragedy and survival, and ultimately of acceptance and forgiveness between a mother and a daughter. With a degree in psychology, a career as a flight attendant and a side career as a stand-up comic, Foley’s sharp sense of humor and insights into the complexities of human relationships come through clearly in her writing.

The Real Life of a St. Mary’s Graduate

This is a poignant story of a strong Catholic family in the 50’s to the present. There is a very complicated, painful story of the author and her mother. It is a story of struggle, anger, pain, love, and, eventually forgiveness!

Thank you, Kathy for the memories of Denver. I, too, am a native and grew up in Crestmoor. I attended St. Mary’s and my dad was a physician at St. Joe’s. Your dad delivered me, as I remember.

You are an excellent writer! I felt your pain, your struggle and your healing! Thank you for sharing your story!
