I had a great time learning more about one of my favorite authors! Such an amazing and inspiring woman.

"It is not the honour and glory of which I have dreamt that is important, it is the strength to endure. One must know how to bear one's cross, and one must have faith. I believe, and so do not suffer so much, and when I think of my calling I do not fear life."
