Frank and Maisie

Wilfred Sheed tells the story of his parents, Maisie Ward and Frank Sheed, who started Sheed and Ward Publishing, whose books change the course of the modern Catholic church.

First sentence: WHEN I SAY THAT MY FATHER HAPPENED TO FIND HIMSELF A Catholic, I don't mean he did it the easy way, with genial priests rubbing their pink hands in the parlor and jubilant celebrations at Christmas and Easter to make Church and home seem like one to the polymorphous mind of a child.
