The book is a biography of a Roman Catholic nun, Sister M. Optata
Fries, who devoted her life in sacrifice to others. The story was
written using the actual letters she wrote from 1939 to her death
in 1997. There are also several interviews she gave to complete her
early years of life and years in the concentration camp when she
was unable to communicate to the outside world. She was chosen to
be a missionary nun in China in 1939, held in a concentration camp
during World War II when Japan invaded China, and then after
several years back in Wisconsin, in 1955 was chosen again to serve
as a missionary in Guam for which she spent the next 35 years. This
story details her life and travels during her amazing nearly 72
years of her religious profession. In an era when the media is
fixated on representing the misdeeds of the few religious as the
norm, this story is a true testament to the world that there are
wonderful faithful people who serve God in a truly blessed way.
Sister Optata was a holy and dedicated woman that served her faith
above all else.
