I really loved Sarah Jean Horwitz's newest middle grade fantasy novel, Falling to Fairyland. Classic fairy tale feels, but with fantastic surprises, and a search for self identity and acceptance that is really, really needed in modern times. Definitely recommend!!!

United States Ambassador To Italy Mrs Clare Boothe Luce Listens To The Words Of Pope Pius Xii,During An Audience At The Pontiff'S Lakeside Summer Residence.13 October 1955

American conservative politician Clare Boothe Luce converted to Catholicism in 1946.

In a 1953 meeting with Pope Pius XII, she was fiercely lecturing the pontiff on the Church's moral duty to fight communism when the Pope finally interrupted her.

"You know, Mrs. Ambassador, I am a Catholic too."
