The computer screen flashed up information on her Great Aunt, Brigid Partridge, and she was fascinated with what she read. Research took her to the convent that Brigid entered in Kildare, Ireland, at the age of 17. The warm and friendly welcome extended to her from the community of sisters gave Maureen the desire to pursue Brigid’s story further and she travelled to the convent in Wagga Wagga, Australia. When Maureen returned from Australia, she painstakingly sifted through a mountain of information and carefully crafted the remarkable true story of her Great Aunt. The Extraordinary Case of Sister Liguori would help her through her darkest hours after being diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease/ALS in 2015.view less
