Amazing Grace: The Inspiring Story of Sister Grace Miller and The House of Mercy

by Hank Shaw

A blizzard had the city under siege. Snow piled up on the sidewalks. The air was a whitish blur. It was dangerous to travel. But Sister Grace Miller knew the terrible weather would put the lives of homeless people at risk. So she drove down the icy streets to help people find shelter. She found three men waiting, hoping, for a church to open its doors. But there was no room there. And all the other shelters in town were full, too. With her famous persistence, she finally found a safe place for the men for the night. But the experience made her angry. And determined. Rochester, New York needed one place that would never turn desperate people away, she thought. And that vision led her to found The House of Mercy, a mission that provides food, clothing, shelter and hope to thousands of people in one of the poorest cities in the country. This book tells the history of The House of Mercy and paints a life-long portrait of the remarkable woman poor people in Rochester call Amazing Grace. ------------------- Pope Francis once asked this “If we see someone who needs help, do we stop?” Sister Grace stopped.

Reviews

[Hank Shaw]

I will leave reviews to others, but i would like to point out that I wrote the book and I am not a food writer nor am I from New Jersey. A writer based in Rochester, NY, I grew up in Southern Illinois. I dont know why Goodreads has decided to credit authorship to an entirely different Hank Shaw. Sincerely, hank Shaw.
