St. Bakhita of Sudan, Forever Free By Susan Helen Wallace, FSP. Paperback, 120 pp.
Kidnapped into slavery at the age of seven and brought to Italy as a teenager, the indomitable Bakhita eventually became a Catholic nun and spent over fifty years joyously serving her Lord as a Canossian Sister.
In 2000, Pope John Paul II canonized her. This African saints engrossing life story, heroic choices, and forgiving heart make her a wonderful role model! The Encounter the Saints Series offers intermediate readers down-to-earth portrayals of the saints. Each story vividly recreates for the reader the saints place of origin, family life, and corresponding historical events.
