About this listen
Stories of Maria of Agreda's exceptional attributes spread from her cloistered convent in seventeenth-century Agreda, Spain, to the court in Madrid, and beyond. Without leaving her village, the abbess impacted the kingdom, her church, and the New World. Based upon her transcendent visionary experiences, Sor Maria chronicled the life of Mary, mother of Jesus of Nazareth, in the Mystical City of God. This work was temporarily condemned during the Spanish Inquisition.
In America, reports emerged that she had miraculously appeared to Jumano Native Americans - a feat corroborated by witnesses in Spain, Texas, and New Mexico, where she is known as the legendary "Lady in Blue."
Today, Sor Maria is lauded in Spain as one of the most influential women in its history, and in the United States as an inspiring pioneer. Fedewa's biography of this spirited abbess integrates voluminous autobiographical, historical, and literary sources published by and about Maria of Agreda.

The Mystical Lady in Blue
I received this audiobook for free in exchange for an honest review.
This was a very good history of Maria of Agreda, known as the Mystical Lady in Blue. Her simplicity is so different to other historical figures, and she lived in Spain, and then in a convent, never leaving.
Marilyn Fedewa did an amazing job with this novel, with much preparation and research. Her writing style is very good, with an easy flowing style that makes reading or, as in my case, listening quite enjoyable.
The narrator, Kelley Hazen, is also a brilliant choice for this audiobook.
