I finished Stephen Harrigan -- The Sorrowful Mysteries earlier today.

I'd been wanting to read about Fatima for some time and just happened to stumble upon this .

As well being an informative history of the the origins of the Fatima cult and its reverberations down to the end of the twentieth century, it's also an engrossing memoir of growing up Catholic in Texas before Vatican II and the author's growing away from this faith.
