I saw Sister Simone Campbell when she was a guest on "Real Time with Bill Maher" and she was very impressive. This book seals the deal for me. This tells of Sister Simone's early life and commitment to a religious life and her commitment to social justice issues. A lawyer by education, she has worked in several areas to help people in poverty. Later, she headed up NETWORK, a D.C. based Catholic lobby group that focused on passing Obama care and immigration reform. Part of their strategy includes the "Nun on the bus" road trips to bring attention to the good works of charitable groups and point out the additional work that needs to be done and how the government can support this work. Very interesting lady who has done a ton of good work.
