In 1962, an attractive woman, loving wife, committed physician, mother of four, enthusiastic downhill skier, experienced mountain climber, and opera aficionado made a quiet, heroic choice--leaving her destiny in the hands of God out of immense love for the life within her. In 1994, the Church proclaimed her a saint. This is her story. In a modern sense, her story reveals that devotion to God does not have to mean the exclusion of all else.
