It’s blog tour stop # 5 and we are at the Catholic Blogger’s place today. Pete Socks has interviewed me and we see the beginning here:

PETE: Your memoir The Kiss of Jesus is a deeply personal volume. Was it difficult to write such personal details?

DONNA-MARIE COOPER O’BOYLE: Some parts of it were difficult to write because I needed to revisit some very dark and painful episodes in my life.

PETE: Your life has been filled with many highs and many lows. By telling readers about these what do you hope they take away from this book?

DONNA-MARIE COOPER O’BOYLE: I hope and pray that my readers will feel a sense of hope for their own lives after reading my book. I believe that so many people suffer from deep wounds for all kinds of reasons. As well, they struggle and suffer due to strenuous life circumstances. They can sometimes feel all alone in their suffering and many times don’t know where to turn for help. I am praying that my book will help them and even heal their wounds, by God’s grace. I pray it will inspire them to want to grow in holiness as we are all called by God to do. [See the rest here.]
