The Life of Saint Monica is a biographical account of the life of Saint Monica, a Christian saint and mother of Saint Augustine, written by Frances A. Forbes and originally published in 1919. The book traces Monica's life from her childhood in North Africa to her marriage to Patricius and her struggles with his infidelity and her son Augustine's waywardness. Despite these challenges, Monica remained steadfast in her faith and devoted herself to prayer and good works, ultimately leading her husband and son to convert to Christianity. The book also explores Monica's later years, including her travels to Italy and her death in Ostia.
