This biography relates the story of St. Monica (332 - 387), the mother of St. Augustine. A native of Northern Africa, she would become famous for her devotion to her son and her pious life of prayer. Forbes masterfully weaves the story of St. Monica's life with the background details of ancient Roman as it became a Christian state, while also including details of St. Augustine's (354 - 430 AD) early life and conversion. The source text for this work is "The Life of Saint Monica," London: Washbourne, 1919, by Frances Alice Forbes (1869-1936). To this text have been added illustrations of the saint and her son.

Este libro es, por encima de todo, la historia de una madre. Pero tambi n es la historia de una noble mujer, una mujer que fue realmente grandiosa, justamente porque ella nunca trat de ser as . Porque ella entendi la esfera en la que el trabajo de una mujer en el mundo generalmente debe consistir y verdaderamente dirigi su vida seg n las l neas que Dios le hab a tendido; porque sufri valientemente, se olvid de s misma por otros y se mantuvo fiel a sus nobles ideales, ella gobern como una reina entre aquellos con quienes le toc vivir. Su influencia fue muy grande y de un gran alcance, pero ella misma fue la ltima en sospecharlo, la ltima en desearlo, y ese fue quiz s el secreto de su grandeza.Este tipo de mujer es raro hoy en d a, pero, gracias a Dios a n hay M nicas todav a en el mundo. Si hubiera m s, el mundo ser a un lugar mejor.
