Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

My friend wrote a wonderful book as a response to the Golden Compass books (written to draw children away from God), she draws them to Him, in a very non-preachy and exciting way! The story is filled with references to Greek and Roman Myths and ancient history, and is a page turning fantasy. She is a beautiful Catholic mother and writer, among other things.   

I avoided lots of responsibilities when I got my hands on it (page turner!) and my 10 year old daughter waited very impatiently for me to finish. She has read it, and now my 8 year old son is enjoying it. I really love that it was something we are all enjoying and able to discuss together. I need more books like that!   

Anyways, here it is: Gateways She has it in paperback or Kindle. I think there will be a Nook version out soon. Would love to hear your feedback.
