Cecilia Cunningham is a wife, mother of nine, retired homeschool veteran of twenty-eight years, and soon-to-be empty nester. She grew up in the rural woods of Pennsylvania, learning the truth, goodness, and beauty of God from His creation—but it was her experience at Thomas More College in New Hampshire that drew her deeper into the riches of the Catholic faith and the fullness it gives to every aspect of life. She loves the Carmelite spirituality, its mystics, and the profound beauty of the Latin Mass. Cecilia and Bill, her beloved husband of thirty-four years, currently reside in Ohio.
