California Proposition 65What do you do when life doesn’t go as planned—when the longing for love becomes overwhelming? Sacred Heartache is an anthology of stories from seventeen Catholic women who searched for their vocations through bad dates, breakups, and uncertainty. An eclectic mix of contributors—religious sisters, newlyweds, and those wandering the desert of single life—share candidly about their seasons of suffering, and how God led them through the dark valley to find the sunrise of His love.
A book for women whose souls are longing for love
“When our hearts are aching, we need consolation from the Holy Spirit, which often comes through the witness of others. Sacred Heartache is filled with the stories of women who persisted through loneliness, doubt, and pain, and still trusted that God, in his Fatherly love, would lead them eventually to find hope in their aching.” - Christopher West, President of the Theology of the Body Institute
