Anne Costa introduces us to her friend Edith Stein and helps us to grasp the loftiness and greatness of the true feminine vocation.

Though Anne Costa never knew Edith Stein personally, Stein’s writings had a profound effect on her, and she came to view Edith as a personal friend–one who serves as a wise guide for a woman’s unique role in the world today. St. Edith Stein can help us to learn how to know ourselves, be more openhearted, experience freedom through surrender, and embrace the vocation of love common to all women.
Embracing Edith Stein shows how the diffrent aspects of the life and teachings of St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross can serve as a guide for women and their unique vocation today. Written in a friendly, conversational style, this is one woman sharing the story of her friendship with this saint with her readers.
