Francis of Assisi is Catholicism's most popular saint. Tens of millions of spiritual seekers summon his name and example. But the real Francis-both his complicated personality and his complex theology-have been misunderstood for centuries. In 1228, Pope Gregory IX rushed to canonize St. Francis only two years after his death. Soon thereafter, the Church eliminated significant aspects of his biography from the public record. For Francis's early life was defined by his profligacy; shortly before dying, Francis himself warned his brothers: "Don't be too quick to canonize me. I am perfectly capable of fathering a child." In A Mended and Broken Heart, journalist Wendy Murray slices through the bowdlerized version of Francis's life promoted within the Catholic tradition and reveals instead a saint who was in every way also a real man. Murray stresses in particular the crucial but completely neglected role that Clare of Assisi played in Francis's life, both pre- and postconversion, and his theology. A profoundly humane portrait of a misunderstood saint, A Mended and Broken Heart makes a powerful case that St. Francis's life and thought make him a role model for religious seekers of every faith.

Meg Flanagan had faithfully served the Lord as a nun for the Sisters of Saint Joseph for more than twenty-five years. She enjoyed a spiritual peace that was unparalleled. Meg taught high school biology for an impoverished Catholic school in Newark, New Jersey. Life seemed perfect, until she "got sick." That was the catchphrase the faculty used. Only those closest to her knew she had cancer. She beat her breast cancer, but she came back to school with a restless soul. Was there more to life than the only world she knew? Karch Kummen was a vibrant, younger teacher who invited the Sisters to his family's Pocono Mountain cabin for a winter getaway while he and his parents skied. Meg asked Karch if he could teach her to ski. He held her close as together they skied down the mountain. Months later, after a meeting, she admitted to Karch in an empty classroom that she wished she had someone to kiss. Meg was slowly being seduced. It was not a physical seduction, but one that was emotional. He showed her a wonderful life beyond the walls of her convent she had never experienced. Karch invited her to his family's oceanfront beach house. There, he took her on fast amusement rides, a boogie board, sailing, and on a bike trip. He also kept her safe when a hurricane hit the Jersey coast. However, with that emotional seduction inevitably came a slow, physical seduction. Did Meg have the strength of heart to finally resist the world he offered, or did she have the weakness of the flesh and would eventually succumb to Karch? Only time would tell.
