Silent Soul - Hardcover

Every Wednesday afternoon, a quiet crowd waits patiently for a brief glimpse of a fourteen-year-old Audrey Santo. Paralysed and unable to speak for the past ten years after a near-drowning incident, Audrey is the source of miraculous phenomena that have drawn the faithful from five continents. Lined up along South Flagg Street in Worcester, Massachusetts, pilgrims have waited up to eighteen months for the chance to be in the presence of the girl considered by thousands to be a living saint. Like beloved Padre Pio and the children of Fatima and Medjugorje, Audrey Santo is a bridge to the supernatural world, bringing her one unique message of hope and healing through her presence alone. In a rare move, the Catholic Church has launched an official investigation into Audrey, signifying that her miracles are too numerous and worthy to ignore. With the new millennium, the story of Audrey Santo is spreading throughout the world like a quiet flame and is sure to touch hearts and fill souls.
