From the publisher

The midwife ushered Parisio into the bedchamber. Her tear-stained face told him that something was not right. When the midwife slowly pulled back the blanket, Parisio gasped. “It’s a girl, my Lord,” the midwife whispered. “It is a monster!” Emilia sobbed.Little Margaret is the true story of Margaret’s short life (1287-1320). She was born disfigured, blind, lame, and a dwarf. You will cheer for her as she first overcomes imprisonment and then abandonment by her family. She learned about God’s love for her from the castle priest. God used a girl others labeled as “crippled” to become as an angel to the sick, imprisoned, and dying.It’s no wonder Margaret was beatified by the Church!
