  A critically-acclaimed literary memoir braiding together environmental research and the personal journey of generational healing, grief, and chronic illness. 
  Author Eiren Caffall is the inheritor of a family legacy of two hundred years of genetic kidney disease and the mother of a child who may inherit that legacy. 
  A literary memoir on loss, chronic illness, and generational healing, Caffall’s The Mourner’s Bestiary is also a meditation on grief and survival told through the stories of animals in two collapsing marine ecosystems—the Gulf of Maine and the Long Island Sound—and the lives of a family facing a life-threatening illness on their shores. 
  The Gulf of Maine is the world’s fastest-warming marine ecosystem, and the Long Island Sound has been the site of conservation battles that predict the fights ahead for the Gulf. 
  "Beguiling, idiosyncratic [...] Caffall writes with plangent intensity about our responsibility toward the planet, and her eye for the wonder and beauty of ocean life pierces the illusion of disconnected existence." ? Whiting Creative Nonfiction Grant judges citation 
  "Eiren Caffall has produced some of the most powerful writing on the ecological crisis I have read anywhere. Caffall is a gifted writer, and this book is strong medicine." ? Naomi Klein, author, social activist, and filmmaker

  Throughout the history of the Catholic Church, in her most troubled and turbulent times, God has raised up great saints as beacons of hope in the midst of darkness. Among these great saints, the four women Doctors of the Church stand out as models of courage, wisdom, and trust. Their example and teachings remain with us, are relevant to the challenges of our own day, and urge us on to renewal with unwavering hope. 
   
   
   
  "Trust shows the way," wrote Saint Hildegard of Bingen. These words set the courageous standard by which she, Teresa of Ávila, Catherine of Siena, and Thérèse of Lisieux lived. The phrase can be considered the watchword for the Church in every age, and especially in our own.

  "Our heart is restless, until it repose in Thee." Witness the ultimate transformation of a soul laid bare before God and history. 
  Long before he was revered as a saint, Augustine was a man consumed by worldly passions, intellectual vanity, and profound inner turmoil. In The Confessions, we are transported to the bustling streets of 4th-century Carthage, a "cauldron of unholy loves," where a brilliant young orator pursues forbidden pleasures, esoteric cults, and hollow ambitions. But beneath his reckless rebellions lies an unquenchable hunger for the truth. As Augustine battles the invisible enemies of pride and lust, the stakes are nothing less than his eternal soul. From the theft of a seemingly insignificant pear to the shattering loss of a beloved friend, his relentless quest leads him to the very precipice of despair—and ultimately, into the waiting arms of grace. 
  Why you will love this: If you crave deeply introspective Autobiography / Theology narratives, this seminal work is unparalleled. Blending philosophical rigor with poetic vulnerability, this masterpiece defines the genre of Christian memoir. Fans of classical apologetics, personal redemption arcs, spiritual awakening stories, and historical theology will find an epic, cinematic journey in this profound testament of human frailty and divine mercy. 
  About the Author: Augustine of Hippo was an early Christian theologian and philosopher whose writings laid the foundation for Western Christianity and philosophy. Regarded as one of the most important Church Fathers, his intensely personal and rhetorical style continues to captivate readers millennia later.
