Mother Angelica once quipped, "I want you to have a new concept of holiness. You've got to be holy where you are: washing the dishes, at the office, at school. Where you are, you can be holy there." Like parenthood, the road to holiness is challenging and can be exhausting. However, this book will give you confidence in knowing that you have a plan of action, that you are not alone, and that countless other parents have grown in their love for God despite life's myriad challenges.
