Inhaltsangabe

In this exuberant chronicle of the journey from girlhood to adulthood, Martha Manning turns her trademark wit and incisive pen to the story of her quintessentially Irish-American Catholic upbringing. Droll and touching, Chasing Grace paints an unforgettable portrait of childhood, family, community, and the ways that faith shapes and colors a life.
Recalling her pratfalls, sorrows, and delights - both as a mischievous schoolgirl and a wife and mother reflecting on her past - Manning weaves her memoir around the seven sacraments of Catholic tradition: baptism, penance, communion, confirmation, holy orders, marriage, and last rites. Doing hilarious battle with her nun schoolteachers, eavesdropping on the grownups, negotiating the early stages of marriage, and watching her own daughter grow into a young girl - each episode in Manning's life is illuminated by the rituals of faith.
