Sweeney's book is an invitation to experience the joy, depth, and wisdom of St. Clare, a woman the author describes one of St. Francis' closest companions, a deep, ready source of wisdom, and a well to Francis' river. The volume includes a week of special prayers for morning and evening which explore seven themes from St. Clare's life and work.  Enjoy a special appendix that dramatizes what it might have been like to be there on that first night when Clare fled to the little chapel called Portiuncula to become a "brother."

Jon Sweeney is the author of many other books including The St. Francis Prayer Book, and Francis and Clare: A True Story.
