It is evident in the clear and powerful writing that Carrie did her homework, and that this work is inspired by our Blessed Mother. It is not easy to read, the evil present in our society and culture is real and pervasive. That said, Carrie does not leave us hopeless. On the contrary, she gives us hope…hope in the example of and the powerful intercession of our Queen and Mother, Mary. On a more practical level, Carrie reveals the true beauty of women, and the incredible impact true motherhood has on family and culture…an irreplaceable beauty and goodness that compliments and completes us as men.
