Summary

"In Thrift Store Graces, Jane continues the witty, inspiring, and thought-provoking storytelling that she began in her first book, Thrift Store Saints. But this time, Jane introduces us to some far more challenging personal situations that emerge as a result of her volunteer work. Also, she beautifully weaves in stories of her pilgrimage to Medjugorje in war-torn Bosnia--from her initial, well-reasoned resistance to taking the trip to her subsequent joy in having embarked on such a soul-changing journey."--Page 4 of cover.
