Entering her 40th year, Beverly Donofrio, a "lapsed Catholic," inexplicably begins collecting Virgin Mary memorabilia at yard sales. Soon, immersing herself in a spiritual quest, she makes a pilgrimage to the holy city of Medjugorje. There, she learns that Mary comes into a person’s life only when pride steps out and receives a bonus: hope. In Looking for Mary, Donofrio offers the universal story about a woman who--in a quest for the Blessed Mother--finds herself.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The found again Catholics seem to be obsessed with admitting all their sins. I understand that finding the Church is a relief but I don't think its necessary to tell everyone every sin.

What did you like best about this story?

I love the parts where the author actually stayed on story with her feelings toward the Blessed mother

Do you think Looking for Mary needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

It would be helpful to know if she stayed with her devotion and connection to the Blessed Mother and what she did to keep the devotion...

too much confession

Love everything about this book. As someone who hates rules as well it inspires me to continue to seek God's love in my own time and path.

Powerfully Honest

I came looking to gain some insight on Mary as I don’t have a closeness like others do and this book was perfect as this woman appears to have the same issues at the beginning of her book. I felt like I was walking her path with her as we have made similar decisions. Kept my attention and am now looking for other books by this author.

Was an easy listen. I’m not a mother but this book has helped me appreciate Mary and maybe one day come closer to Jesus. I could relate to the writer and I hope that I can more faith too

Easy listen and well written

This book filled my spirit. As a non-Catholic who has had Mother Mary inching her way into my life, it was just perfect. The personality of Beverly really came through as it was being read. I couldn't wait for my time to listen to this book each day and was sad when it ended. Delightful and touching AND I learned so much.

Loved the book & narrator!

I just finished listening to the audio version of this book for the third time. Beverly is brutally honest about her failures, doubts and fears. She is also an excellent writer, and I don't want the book to end. I am not a Catholic, but love Mary and totally relate to the way Mary loves us and sneaks into our hearts in unexpected ways. Thank you Beverly for writing this inspiring book. May you and everyone who reads it be as richly blessed as I am by it.

Worth reading over again, and again

My son died 5 months ago & in my grief & deep sorrow, I’ve been searching for signs, meaning to be able to move forward in a healthy way. I’m a strong Christian but have never been taught much on Mary & now, feeling like I can relate to her more in our suffering as Mothers, I went searching for her. This book was so wonderful! I had no idea this was the same writer as Riding In Cars With Boys & when that was realized, I knew I was on the right path. I wanted REAL, I wanted an authentic picture of a Seeker & a sceptic . I didn’t need another religious book telling me why, I needed a first hand experience of how this very authentic woman found Mary & how this helped her in her own life.

REFRESHING & heartfelt! Just what I was looking for.

I love all of Beverly Donofrio's books. I like how they are very real and honest.

great book

Fabulously written and read with hipster cynicism masking deep longing for faith and meaning-true connection with the Divine. I've listened more times than I can count. Always speaks to me in new and fresh ways. Probably my second favorite book after Autobiography of a Yogi.

One of my favorite books of all time!

I absolutely loved her story. I want to listen to it again. It was wonderfully written. There was never a dull moment and this book has brought me close to GOD, Mary, and Jesus. Thankyou

Heartwarming
