Three Saints by Joan Williams
Most biographies of women saints tend to be brief summaries extolling their virtues, with a slight mention of their greater contributions to the faith and the world in general. Author Joan Williams has taken the lives of three women saints (Catherine of Siena, Teresa of Avila, and Genevieve of Paris) and provides a look into their lives and influence and sheds light on their neglected stories.
Williams, Joan: - Joan Williams (1928-2004) was an acclaimed author of short stories and novels, including The Morning and the Evening, a finalist for the National Book Award, and The Wintering, a roman ü¾Œ†”¼ clef based on her relationship with William Faulkner. Born in Memphis, Tennessee, and educated at Bard College in upstate New York, Williams was greatly influenced by the legacy of her mother's rural Mississippi upbringing and set much of her fiction in that state. Her numerous honors included the John P. Marquand First Novel Award, a grant from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and a Guggenheim Fellowship.
