I read this book, right after reading "An Unquenchable Thirst" by Mary Johnson. The later reads a bit more like a novel, whereas this book contains far more detail about the medical side of Mother Teresa's order and the (incredible) expectation of sisters to give incessantly with little attention given to their own medical care or emotional well-being. As Livermore's true interest is in medicine, it makes sense that her focus is there. I would have preferred more detail on her inner journey while in the MC's, however where Livermore's account excels is in her discussion of her own struggle after leaving the order and how she handles her crisis of faith. All in all, a very good read.
