They promised her heaven, but there was no savior.
Patricia Walsh Chadwick Knihy
Patricia Walsh Chadwicková ve své prvotině, pamětech s názvem LITTLE SISTER, zkoumá svůj neortodoxní život v exkomunikované katolické komunitě. Od svého dětství byla vychovávána k zasvěcení života Bohu, bez kontaktu s vnějším světem, odmítajíc rodinu a vlastní děti. V sedmnácti letech byla ze svého domova vyhnána a bez prostředků, rad či možnosti vysokoškolského vzdělání čelila světu. Z tohoto skromného začátku se díky neuvěřitelné píli vyšplhala na vrchol korporátní žebříčku a později se věnovala kariéře jako expertka a členka správních rad, přičemž rozvinula vášeň pro operu, divadlo a cestování. Dnes se kromě své profesní činnosti věnuje dobročinnosti a mentoringu mladých dívek, čímž ukazuje sílu odhodlání a snahy o lepší budoucnost.

""That a writer of Dr. Lewis's scholarly and literary stature should publish more than a dozen books directly or indirectly defending Christianity is news; that his works should have such wide repercussions is still more significant news and merits a second thought. What does it mean when his books become best-sellers? Does the fact indicate anything about the intellectual currents of the present decade? If so, it seems time to examine more closely the exact kind of Christianity and philosophy presented in Dr. Lewis's writings, and the literary techniques that have brought him into the forefront of authors dealing with religious themes."" ""In this book I hope to add something (though not too much) to the scanty supply of biographical information available about Dr. Lewis, but my main concern will be with his ideas, the way he presents them, and the significance of his popularity. "" --from the foreword by the author Chad Walsh (1914-1991) was a poet and teacher who established himself as the American authority on C. S. Lewis with the publication of his C. S. Lewis: Apostle to the Skeptics in 1949. The author of over twenty books, he was professor of English at Beloit College in Wisconsin.
