"Our Lady of Perpetual Donuts" by Jordan Beswick (North Carolina)
Edna Howard, the donut lady of Hayward, California, is more than she seems. Addressing a group of incarcerated teenage female offenders, she shares her story of survival. How, through sheer stubborness, enormous creativity, a tremendous capacity for love, and God's peculiar care, she escaped her would be destroyers, and found salvation in, of all things, donuts. Our lady of perpetual donuts devotes her life to defending, protecting and empowering the countless children in her care. One love filled donut at a time.
