In this book, Maggie Green shows how you can faithfully follow the example of Saint Monica, whose prayers, tears, and witness eventually led to the conversion of both her husband and her son, Saint Augustine, Doctor of the Church. This isn't a book on how to win your "prodigal" child back -- it's a book on how to wait for them, how to accept the task of planting the seeds and laboring in the vineyard without necessarily seeing the harvest.
