Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
During the 1950's and early 1960's, nuns predominated the teaching landscape in Catholic schools. 'Thank You, Sister!' is a loving tribute to those women who gave their lives in service to the faith formation of their students. At the same time, these selfless women promoted excellence in academics and nurtured the seeds of conduct, courtesy, and cooperation, which parents had already fostered in the minds of their children. The book is full of memories and cultural references, which would appeal to all who grew up during a simpler time.

..."Thank You, Sister is a nostalgic, yet honest look into the academic and social life of a young Catholic girl in the '60's. Beverly remembers everything I had forgotten. A delightful read.

This was a great refresher of memories from Catholic school that I had filed away for too long! Beverly did a great job of using the details to remind us of the bigger picture --- how fortunate we are to have been educated by people so dedicated, so loving, and so faithful to God. This is an awesome tribute, and a humorous and touching light read. Thank you, BVMs! And thank you, Beverly.

. . .swirling around the Catholic Church today, "Thank you, Sister" is a beautiful and refreshing change.
Neither deep theology, nor modern controversy, "Thank you, Sister" is the loving memoir of a woman who spent 8 years in Catholic grammar school in the late 1950's and early 1960's. The author credits her own loving upbringing to her own eventual decision to become a teacher herself.
There is a lot of evil in the world, and some of it is in the Church itself. This book serves as a powerful reminder that there is -- and ever has been -- far more good than evil, and that good will ultimately triumph.
A heartwarming read.
