"During his homily at the Shrine of Our Lady of Charity of El Cobre, Pope Francis said, "We are asked to live the revolution of tenderness as Mary, our Mother of Charity, did. We are invited to 'leave home' and to open our eyes and hearts to others." In Our Lady of Charity: How a Cuban Devotion to Mary Helped Me Grow in Faith and Love, Cuban-American, award-winning author Maria Morera Johnson shares her journeys of leaving home and the history of the island where she was born.

With her characteristic warmth and wit, Johnson invites readers to know Mary under this title as well and to allow devotion to Mary to help them open their hearts to others and grow in faith and love"--
