My
Heart in Hiding
Mary T. Fisher, OP
MY HEART IN HIDING is a composite of prayer
forms created by a woman in pursuit of her own truth. Rarely
does one find an author so open and revealing of what is
hidden in the heart. Through a variety of poetic
forms and intimate, touching prayers and reflections, the reader is
introduced to the universal need for love, acceptance, and forgiveness.
Ideals and reality merge into expressions of promise, longing,
angry confusion, relentless hope. Unexpected glimmers of humor
lighten the mood and facilitate empathy with the author, who
treats the reader like an old and dear friend. Fisher chooses
words with the art of an alchemist Can anyone sit with this book
and remain untouched? Reflectively reading these pages encourages
the ongoing search for and appreciation of Mystery.”

“A dedicated life expressed in heartfelt prose and poetry
while grappling with elation, with challenges, with the ordinary--
all created with an open, generous heart.”
