Radio Interview: Books and Authors: Inspiring Trailblazers

It’s Books and Authors Week on Catholic Review Radio, and Catholic Review Editor Christopher Gunty talks with two authors whose books feature literal and spiritual trailblazers. First up is Josh McMullen, who wrote about “The Glacier Priest: Father Bernard Hubbard and America’s Last Frontier,” about the Jesuit’s amazing adventures exploring in Alaska. The second half of the show features Vinita Hampton Wright, who brings us “Blazing the Trail: A 4-Week Retreat with American Women of the Church.” The spiritual guides for the retreat are St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, St. Francis Xavier Cabrini, Servant of God Dorothy Day and Servant of God Sister Thea Bowman. Wright says the four women blazed trails in different walks of life and different ages.
