About the Book

Having grown up the oldest of seven children in a motherless, impoverished, Southside Chicago Irish-Catholic family, at age seventeen Maggie Corrigan struggles with two choices: marriage and bearing more children than she can possibly care for, or entering the convent. She decides to dedicate her life to God, but never forgets her roots, or that her mother died in childbirth after too many pregnancies. As the Church's Vatican II reforms and the wider women's movement take hold, she realizes that by labeling birth control as a sin and abortion as murder, the patriarchal Catholic Church is severely endangering women's lives. Never doubting her vocation, she decides she can no longer remain silent and, no matter the personal cost, is compelled to take up the fight for women's reproductive rights within the wealthiest, most powerful institution in the world-ruled over by a cabal of middle-aged men with no familial responsibilities. Some label her a heretic and others call her a saint, but everyone agrees that Sister Maggie Corrigan is fearless.

Review :
"Released at a time when women in the United States are fighting for their reproductive rights and their rights as humans, Fearless is the perfect story to remind people some things are worth fighting for." - Rabia Tanveer, 5-star review, Readers' Favorite "I cannot express how much I loved this book. Kudos to Paula Dáil for weaving research so beautifully into an engaging and unique plot. As I hungrily turned the pages of Fearless, through Maggie I came face to face with all the unanswered questions and inexplicable beliefs held by Catholicism and diverse organized religions." - Viga Bolan, 5-star review, Readers' Favorite "Readers who are in tune with the women's reproductive rights movement and those who have found themselves victims of religious oppression are certain to relate strongly to the concepts that are woven into [protagonist] Maggie's life story. ... I would certainly recommend Fearless to women's fiction readers everywhere." - K.C. Finn for Readers' Favorite "... a powerhouse of a story especially recommended for readers steeped in and supportive of Catholic faith, but critical of some of its social interactions. This audience will find much food for thought in [the protagonist's] struggles to reconcile her beliefs with her moral and ethical values." - D. Donovan Midwest Book Review
