{"product_id":"catherines-mercy-9780827207509","title":"Catherine's Mercy","description":"In 1824, Catherine, a Catholic spinster of 44, unexpectantly inherits millions. However, she doesn't use it to climb the social ladder or snare a husband; she uses it to fulfill a lifelong dream of building a refuge for the poor and sick of Dublin, Ireland. That an unmarried woman would dare propose such a thing is so scandalous, even her own brother calls it \"Kitty's Folly.\" Society turns against her. The Church tries to take over. Catherine must defend her choices or lose not only her inheritance, but her reputation and life's calling. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOne of the first women who seeks Catherine's help is Margaret, a maid in the house of Lord Montague, the loudest of Catherine's detractors. Daring to protect herself from his advances and rebel against his maxim of total obedience, Margaret is forced to flee for her life. She desperately approaches Catherine for help, setting off a series of events that haunt Catherine all her days and prompt a rule that holds today, in the real-life Sisters of Mercy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Chalice Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/07\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780827207509\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/28\/2023\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Nicole Evelina","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43124405076149,"sku":"9780827207509","price":15.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_e456e482-f4d0-4e4d-901e-d4866c7a9409.jpg?v=1694551405","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/catherines-mercy-9780827207509","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
