[Rico · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a quiet, unassuming book about an unassuming life, and that is precisely its strength. Michelle Duppong: Hope in the Depths of Suffering does not try to manufacture drama or force an argument for heroic virtue. Instead, it patiently presents the ordinary contours of a faithful life lived with remarkable consistency.

Michelle comes across as deeply attentive to others, rooted in prayer, and strikingly non-rivalrous in her holiness. She desired sanctity for herself, but just as clearly rejoiced in it for others, never needing to be the center.

If you were moved by Chiara Corbella Petrillo, you will likely find this book resonates in a similar way: quiet, faithful, and grounded in everyday charity rather than spectacle.

Servant of God, Michelle Duppong, pray for us.

Readers looking for a gripping narrative may find the tone understated, but those looking for clarity, spiritual sanity, and a portrait of ordinary holiness lived well will find much to appreciate here.

The book beautifully captures Michelle’s story. It speaks into how her cause for canonization is rooted in the last year of her life and consenting to suffering.
