KATERI TEKAKWITHA - MOHAWK MAIDEN

Our popular Vision book series continues with this compelling story about Kateri Tekakwitha, an Indian girl who lived in the 1600's. The author has suceeded in weaving together recorded fact with just enough fiction - based on her own research into the customs, mentality and folklore of the Iroquois people - to give us an authentic account of the life of this brave young girl. Her short life was filled with loss, disappointment and sorrow, but readers observe that it was Kateri's unyeilding faithfulness to God and life of constant prayer that won for her the reward of a daughter who may soon be proclaimed to all the world as a cononized saint. Paperback, 12 Chapters, 178 pages. Kateri's mother was a very devout Christian woman who, after being captured by the Iroquois, was not allowed to baptize her daughter. Kateri's whole family died of small pox, and she was adopted by a chief who was very anti-Christian. When she was baptized and converted by the missionaries, Kateri became ostracized from the tribe. With the help of a priest she made a daring escape, and thereafter lived a life devoted to God. Denied her desire to become a nun, she declined marriage and lived as a single woman with deep faith, offering her sufferings and life to Christ. She died at the age of 24 and is affectionately know as the "Lily of the Mohawks." Kateri was beatified by Pope John Paul II.
