AMERICAN MADONNA -CROSSING BARDERS WITH THE VIRGIN MARY

AMERICAN MADONNA -CROSSING BARDERS WITH THE VIRGIN MARY

AMERICAN MADONNA -CROSSING BARDERS WITH THE VIRGIN MARY
American Madonna - Crossing Borders with the Virgin Mary
Author: Deirdre Cornell

A young mother from New York journeys to Mexico to live and work among the poor and encounters the Mother of God.

"Refreshing, inspiring, and especially beautiful because the young author not only takes the Virgin Mary into her own motherly heart, she brings her into our hearts as well!"—Joyce Rupp

Deirdre Cornell, newly pregnant, her husband Kenny and their three small children, arrived in Oaxaca, Mexico with few material goods but with an abundance of faith. The Virgin Mary was always important to Deirdre and when she crossed the border she gained astonishing new insights into a Mother who also crosses boundaries, between the hearts of people, between heaven and earth.

"Only a loving mother could write so beautifully and profoundly about the intimate love of the Mother of God for her children. A must for anyone who has any doubts about the power of Mary's motherly presence."—Virgil Elizondo

"Deidre Cornell is a gifted writer living a remarkable life. Her book is refreshing, vital, and not easy to put down." —Jim Forest, author, Praying with Icons

"I am thrilled with this wonderful book. It promises to stand with the very best of works on Mary."—Sally Cunneen, author, In Search of Mary

Deirdre Cornell and her husband Kenny, together with their five children, lived in Mexico for three years as Maryknoll lay missioners. They previously worked with migrant workers in Newburgh, a river town in upstate New York. Deidre wrote about that life-changing experience in her highly praised first book A Priceless View. The family now resides in Highland, New York and continues their service to migrants.
