"Aimee Wise’s life has been far from the norm, and her memoir Of Human Clay will touch the hearts of the faithful and agnostics alike. This is foremost a love story, first with her God, and later in Africa with the people of Malawi—and a young priest. This story will break open your appreciation of the twists and turns of life, and put a human face on one person’s spiritual journey." - Jedwin Smith, Author Fatal Treasure and Our Brother’s Keeper
With humor and discernment, Wise invites the reader into her Irish Catholic childhood, reveals candid insights into her life as a young nun, and her unique experiences in Africa as a medical missionary—a vocation that had come to define her. Over the course of seventeen months in 1970s rural Malawi, the steady accumulation of unrelenting conflicts—a clash of world views, a patriarchal church, and a sensual but innocent first love—all propel Sister Aimee through a cascade of crises and losses she could never have anticipated.
