About this book
“Sister Jane’s stories are fresh, fun and full of faith. She’s like a modern-day evangelist, packing revelations and inspiration into parables for today. If you need a laugh, a lift, or a supplement for the soul, I highly recommend this book.” — Jan Phillips
In October 1979 Sister Jane Frances Omlor, a Sister of St. Francis of Tiffin, Ohio, left the busy life of a teacher for a “holler” in the mountains of West Virginia. For twenty-seven years she lived among the people of Appalachia, with a love of the land and its people told with a mixture of humor and pathos.
Serendipitous, incredible and charmed, these wild and sometimes wildly funny adventures, from the “Miracle 500s” to cemetery meetin’s, beloved animals and a dreaded snake, show that with God everything is possible and that learning to risk is the key to a full and wholesome life.
“A deeply personal look into the life of a contemporary Franciscan Sister.” — Murray Bodo, OFM
