"ALYSSA LYRA PITSTICK, who holds degrees from the Angelicum [one of Kinney County seminarian Clay Hunt's former schools, too!] in Rome, [the] International Theological Institute in Austria, and Gonzaga University, is an independent scholar in Spokane, Washington.

"This is her first book."

I guess you might say that as she was about to do battle a la David vs. Goliath, Ms. Pitstick was shrewed enough to contract some first - class spiritual muscle in advance on her own behalf.

If there's any doubt, humm..., just check out the dedication page, where she tells us:

"Dedicated to our Lady of the Rosary, under the patronage of St. Catherine of Siena, and St. Thérese the Little Flower."

More to come ...you can just bet on it!
