Résumé
A petite Winnipeg nun founded a drop-in centre that soon became a beacon of hope for Native youth in the city's poorest neighbourhood; 25 years later, Rossbrook House remains a thriving school, training centre and a place for young people… to socialize safely. This "social-spiritual" biography explores how MacNamara - a privileged, well-educated religious sister - was changed by the experience of living with and serving the poor, especially Native young people. Her personal journals, her speeches and writings, and interviews with people who knew her reveal both the internal and external person. 2001. (Out of the ordinary ; 1)
