On the surface, Lucie Christine - the pseudonym given to a nineteenth-century Frenchwoman named Mathilde Boutle - was a very ordinary upper-middle-class woman, fulfilling her daily responsibilities to her husband and children. But underneath, Lucie Christine was an extraordinary human being. In "A Mysticism of Kindness", Astrid M. O'Brien tells the life story of this remarkable woman, revealing how her experiences as a mystic allowed her to persevere as a wife and mother in the midst of constant verbal and physical abuse from her alcoholic husband. Her story will inspire all those who struggle to find a way to live a strong spiritual life in an often difficult and troubling world.
Astrid M. O'Brien is associate professor of philosophy at Fordham University.
