Elizabeth Ann Seton grew up in New York City during the very beginning of America's independence. Let author Anne Merwin, former president of the Mother Seton House in Baltimore, guide you through the life of this young socialite who becomes the pioneer of the Catholic school system in the United States and the foundress of the Sisters of Charity. Discover the secret of Elizabeth's holiness--a courageous determination to allow God to guide her, no matter where he might lead.

Anne Merwin has a B.A. in History and Music from Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut. She has worked in public radio, classical music management, and time management.
