My Uncle Fulton Sheen

Joan Sheen Cunningham was happily growing up with her family in Illinois when her uncle Bishop Fulton Sheen offered her the opportunity of a lifetime: to attend a private school in New York City. With the blessing of her parents, she eagerly accepted, and Fulton Sheen became a second father, a role model, and lifelong friend. In this memoir, Joan describes many formative experiences she had with Fulton Sheen - From shopping for a winter coat to meeting Al Smith, the governor of New York. In one story after another, she illustrates that this great man's chief concern was sharing the mercy of God with everyone.
