This is the story of one of the most active, prayerful and interesting women of all time. Even before she was born God saved her life and prepared Sweden for her arrival in a remarkable way. Born in the early 1300's during what is known as the Middle Ages, Bridget was married at a very young age and had 8 children. After her husband's death she went on to start a religious order for women.

Level 2 books in the Footsteps of the Saints series are about 90-96 pages each and are written for about a fourth grade reading level or higher although some third graders are able to read them as well because of the large print size and double spacing between lines. This series has books about well-known saints, but it also includes stories about saints and other Catholics that you don't hear about very often.
