She gave birth to a healthy daughter--but herself succumbed to an infection, leaving behind a husband and three small children.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCanonized in 2004, Gianna Molla has become a beloved saint of our time: a patron of mothers, doctors, and the unborn, and a witness to life in a culture of death. This unique biography, co-authored by Gianna's own husband, recounts her life leading up to the ultimate sacrifice: a life of heroic witness, love, service, and joy. Through personal anecdotes, we encounter Gianna as she was: a busy, happy Italian woman who lived life to the full, who enjoyed skiing, attending concerts, and spending time with her family, which she wanted to be \"a little cenacle where Jesus reigns\". Gianna lived an ordinary life, yet one poured out in love, sacrifice, and devoted service to others--first as a daughter and sister, later as a physician, and finally as a wife and mother.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis moving account of the life and spirituality of St. Gianna Molla, who made the ultimate sacrifice to save her unborn child, will be an inspiration to readers from all walks of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pietro Molla, Elio Guerriero\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1621647986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781621647980\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ignatius Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/19\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.10w x 0.50d","brand":"Pietro Molla","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47244467929343,"sku":"9781621647980","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cfe4acbd-7c52-4f2e-8864-53471af8ff3e.jpg?v=1758135820","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/saint-gianna-molla-pietro-molla-9781621647980","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
