"An absolutely fascinating read! In a beautiful interweaving of theology, Mariology, history, poetry, and psychiatry, Patricia Santy's book, Prodigal Daughter: A Journey with Mary, kept me reading far into the night. It is the story of her exceptional career successes, her personal losses, joys and sorrows, and the poems and dreams that haunted her as she struggled to find their meaning. Reading this book made me smile, it made me cry, but mostly it made me joyful that her life, so far from God in the feminist, worldly realm, was brought back to Him by the patient nudging of Mary. This is one of those books you just can't put down."

"Reading Prodigal Daughter: A Journey with Mary was a shot of encouragement for my own faith. The book describes a spiritual turnaround in a life that was spent questioning and denying God. It is about a yearning for Truth and the power of the Rosary. Dr. Santy’s transparency and openness about her life's biggest challenges, as well as her poetic honesty detailing her path to Christ through Mary, provide hope for all those struggling with the spiritual emptiness of the modern world."
