This is an automatically translated description

Anna Augustyn (1915-1980) was an ordinary Polish woman from a village in the Carpathian Mountains, the mother of nine children, but this book is unusual. It contains more than fifty letters from the author to her children. From them, we learn, on the one hand, the story of a typical peasant family of that time, and, on the other hand, we plunge into the inner world of the mother, into the history of her spiritual guidance and care for her children. These letters show such a deep and expressive spiritual life that they can be used to draw a kind of "spiritual portrait of a mother," the most remarkable feature of which is the combination of the author's categorical desire for holiness with ordinary daily chores.
