Misfit miracle girl

the long version

This book of essays tells the personal story of Kate Mahoney, before, during and after surviving a terminal illness that came with a decree from the Vatican and discharge papers stating her recovery cannot be explained medically. A prayer campaign by the Sisters of St. Francis (Syracuse, NY), to Mother Marianne Cope resulted in Kate Mahoney's recovery being the first of two miracles that resulted in the canonization of Saint Marianne Cope, OSF on October 21, 2012 by Pope Benedict XVI.
