### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprise Biography
*by W***N on June 15, 2014*

Why would Maya Angelou, Caroll Burnet, and Gloria Steinam write promo blurbs for the life of a saint? That's why I read this book. I wanted to know what they saw in the life of Elizabeth Seton. I found out: an outstanding human being portrayed in a novel-like biography that is hard to put down once you start.Joan Bartel details the winding path of this remarkable woman from the upper echelons of New York Society in the late 1700's, through a wonderful marriage, cruel bankcruptcy, loss of wealth and priviledge, tragic family deaths, and triumph of love and conviction. Along the way you feel as if you are facing the raging disease and poverty of the wealthiest city in the world which surrounded the enclave of the priviledged. Elizabeth Seton stepped out of that world, even before it rejected her!Elizabeth Seton's natural gift of deep human feeling, religious insight, and active charity for the desperate parts of society surrounding her, grow in the face of unimaginable obstacles thrown in her path. Her empathetic victory over adversity and her establishemnt of a community of like minded heroic women survives in her living legacy today. For anyone who feels like giving up in the pursuit of a goal in life, here is your guiding star. Knowing that Elizabeth faced and felt all the dimensions of real human living as we all do makes her attractiveness live on all these years since her death. Looking for a friend on the other side of death? Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton is waiting to make your aquaintance.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enjoyed reading all about her and her struggles
*by G***R on January 24, 2015*

Enjoyed reading all about her and her struggles. The author's style was a bit confusing and could have benefited from a family tree. Good book though and worth reading.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inspirational
*by P***R on November 17, 2014*

I have been researching my 2x great grandmother's branch of the family, the Seaton's, which trace back to Scotland, where the spelling was Seton, prior to ancestors immigrating to the Virginia Colonies. So learning of Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton, was of interest to me, and to try and figure out if her husband and children fit into this branch of my family. It's a wonderful and colorful account of this special woman, nevertheless, as well as a very inspirational life story. There is also a beautiful forward by Maya Angelou.
