In this well-presented book, Sister Judith has used formerly unknown correspondence between the members of Mary MacKillop’s immediate family and, in so doing, has introduced the reader to Mary’s parents and siblings. It is a story of an ordinary close-knit nineteenth century family for whom religion was very important, and is based on letters which, as Sister Judith has put it, ‘brought news, interest and connection, being the primary means of communication between family members. On occasion, they brought bad news. At other times they showed an interest in the world and events that affected the writers’.
