Uncut Mountain Press, 2007

Keeper of the Light: Saint Macrina the Elder, Grandmother of Saints 1 review Bev Cooke
Conciliar Press, 2006
Not just for adults
I am constantly on the look-out for great children's books. This book was not intended to be a children's book, but her life is written in story format. My daughter, who is seven loved it. It has sparked her interest in other lives of the saints.

Very good resource
