Whispering Hope through Hearing Loss is a tender and courageous memoir of faith, identity, and resilience. Bernadette Griffith traces her journey from childhood tinnitus to a life-altering diagnosis of hearing loss, revealing how silence reshaped her relationships, vocation, and prayer. With humor and honesty, she discovers that surrender is not defeat but invitation—an awakening to God’s still, small voice whispering hope beyond the noise.
Paperback: $14.95 | Kindle $9.99
“Bernadette Griffith writes with luminous honesty and theological depth. Whispering Hope through Hearing Loss is a courageous meditation on suffering, surrender, and grace—where silence becomes sacrament and God’s whisper resounds louder than fear.” – Dr. Sebastian Mahfood, OP, author of The Narrative Spirituality of Dante’s Divine Comedy
Bernadette Griffith is a writer whose work explores faith, surrender, and the quiet ways grace reshapes ordinary life. Drawing from her experience with progressive hearing loss, she writes to help others recognize God’s presence in seasons of change and limitation. Her reflections have encouraged others in parish groups, retreats, and daily, supportive conversations. With a background in education and volunteer outreach ministry, she brings both insight and compassion to her storytelling. Bernadette lives in Waynesboro, VA, with her husband, three daughters, and two dogs. She continues to contemplate the still, small voice that calls each of us to trust God more deeply.

Beverly Willet (December 18, 2025). “A Pilgrimage to Find Flannery O’Connor.” National Catholic Register. Click here to read.
Katie Fitzgerald (December 1, 2025). “Book Review: Finding Flannery by Christina Brajkovich, Karen Anne Mahoney, and Roxane B. Salonen (ARC). Read-at-Home Mom. Click here to read.
“A truly enjoyable read! Three Catholic writers from the North take a plunge into the Deep South to explore the mysterious landscape that shaped Flannery O’Connor’s fiction. This enchanting and enlightening book unlocks a treasure trove of details about Flannery’s life that will delight her fans.” — Lorraine V. Murray, author of The Abbess of Andalusia: Flannery O’Connor’s Spiritual Journey
“What an extraordinary introduction to the life and writings of Flannery O’Connor! Here we meet the real person, idiosyncrasies and all. Should there ever be a cause launched for her sainthood, this book must surely be part of the libellus. We are, by definition, on a pilgrimage: because of the instinctive notion of the human heart, our authors have undertaken this journey to draw near to the heart of Flannery. They believe deeply in the communion of saints and invite their readers to join them, bringing their doubts and struggles to a truly noble soul who leads the way heavenward. This is of the essence of spiritual direction.” — Msgr. Jeffrey Steenson, Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter
“Finding Flannery is a folksy, intimate portrait of Catholic author Flannery O’Connor through the eyes of three authors and their longed-for visit to Andalusia Farm This is really three portraits in one, and the lovely hand illustrations crafted with foraged inks make this volume truly special. Here’s hoping this book inspires a new generation to love the truly American experience found in O’Connor’s writings.” — Joseph M. Hanneman, investigative reporter, Blaze Media, and author of The Journey Home
“As a Southerner and a longtime devotee of Flannery O’Connor who recently made my first pilgrimage to Andalusia on the occasion of her 100th birthday, the deeply personal reflections in Finding Flannery have been a beautiful way of anchoring the memories of my own trip; from the farm and house where she lived and died, to the cemetery where she’s buried, and the parish where she worshipped, such that these places themselves become characters in the story. Flannery’s gift was her unique ability to explore the mystery of grace in all its oddness as it rubbed up against the ugliness of a broken world. Each of the writers brings her own experience of odd grace in the midst of misfittery to the text, and it is a delight to read how those threads weave together in the very town where O’Connor herself wrote so powerfully” — Matt Swaim, Co-host, The Son Rise Morning Show, outreach director, The Coming Home Network
“With warmth, honesty, and lyrical storytelling, the authors invite us into their journey of faith, friendship, and discovery at the home of one of America’s most distinctive writers. Their reflections don’t just illuminate Flannery O’Connor’s life and legacy; they awaken the reader’s own longing for grace, beauty, and courage in the ordinary. A delightful and inspiring read for anyone who loves literature, faith, or the surprising ways God meets us along the road.” — Danielle Bean, speaker and author of Whisper: Finding God in the Everyday
“Finding Flannery is a captivating journey of faith, friendship, and literary discovery. Christina, Karen, and Roxane beautifully intertwine their unique voices, offering both warmth and insight. This pilgrimage through Flannery O’Connor’s world enlightens the soul and delights the heart—readers will be both entertained and inspired to seek grace in unexpected places.” — Allison Gingras, author of Jesus Heals and Encountering Signs of Faith
“People often ask me if I think Flannery O’Connor will ever be canonized a saint. I think she will, but not for another two hundred years. And I think part of her canonization process may very well involve Finding Flannery, for within it, three multigenerational Catholic writers offer engaging, intelligent, personal, heartfelt accounts of Flannery O’Connor’s influence on their lives and their vocations. Saints make those around them better, and that is the story of this book. Like O’Connor, Brajkovich, Mahoney, and Salonen are strange birds, yet they each have a song and they sing it well. These three Northern women met in an online writer’s forum, thought it would be fun to make a pilgrimage to Flannery O’Connor’s South, and they actually did it. Finding Flannery is an account of that transforming pilgrimage, replete with O’Connor quotations, reflections, and inspirations. It is right and just that Finding Flannery arrives during the Jubilee Year of Hope, which also happens to be Flannery O’Connor’s centenary. And if anyone is wondering why Catholicism is cool again in 2025, this book has some answers.” — Fr. Damian Ference, author of Understanding The Hillbilly Thomist: The Philosophical Foundations of Flannery O’Connor’s Narrative Art and No One Was Paying Any Attention to the Sky: Flannery O’Connor and Modernity
“Whether you are a Flannery O’Connor aficionado or simply someone who loves a compelling story, Finding Flannery is for you. Kudos to the authors, not only for combining forces to shine a light on one of America’s greatest literary legends, but also for sharing so much of how this gifted woman’s life intersected with their own. Their journey of discovery invites us along on one of our own. Highly engaging!”—Lisa M. Hendey, author of Jesus Every Day, Jesus Every Way
“This travel memoir opens the invitation to journey with three women writers from the North throughout their insightful and joyful experience in the South.” — Beth Dotson Brown, author of Rooted in Sunrise
“An exploration of themes close to the heart of Flannery: how loss informs the soul, how the sacred and profane often live side by side, and the ways that grace erupts in the most unlikely places, even and especially in the lives of misfits. This work is a vivid reminder that every life, no matter its limitations or challenges, has something important to teach, and that the stories we choose to tell matter.” — Liz Kelly Stanchina, community leader for women’s formation with the Word on Fire Institute and award-winning author of Love Like a Saint and A Place, Called Golgotha.
“A moving travelogue that blends memoir, literary reflection, and spiritual insight. With vivid prose and deep Catholic sensibility, the authors draw Flannery’s world into focus through pilgrimage, prayer, and profound encounters with grace.” — Dr. Sebastian Mahfood, OP, author of The Narrative Spirituality of Dante’s Divine Comedy
“I’ve learned more from Flannery O’Connor than anybody else about how to live a good life, because in her fiction, she teaches us how to attend to the time and place we’re in.

“We have read this wonderful book written by one of our dear Deacons at our parish. We are so blessed to have him. “Go in Peace” is a well-written, uplifting, easy-to-read book. It’s thought-provoking and provides an insightful view into how he intertwines family and career to enrich his spiritual life, mixed with a nice touch of humor. It is definitely well worth the read!” – Members of St. Pius X Rosary Group, South Yarmouth, Massachusetts
“In writing Go in Peace, Deacon Tony shares a wonderful explanation of how prayer, Holy Mass and the Rosary guide you through your everyday life. With guidance from Deacon Tony’s book my daily prayer life changed, and helped center me knowing God is by my side in everything I do.” – Kathleen J. Barrett, Administrative Assistant, Office of the Diaconate, Diocese of Worcester
“A retired Firefighter/Fire Chaplin/Teacher Looks back on his years of service is a heartfelt journey through one’s life that is well written and easy to read. Tony has elegantly tied in how his faith in the lord has enriched his life experiences from childhood into adulthood…. Experiences that range personally as a husband, father and friend to many…professionally as a firefighter and a science teacher, as well as spiritually as an ordained deacon in the Catholic Church. The chapters flow beautifully. There is great detail of his personal experiences that have deepened his faith in the lord which has enriched his life as well as the life of many others. Brilliantly written, a must read.” – Jim Clayton, Retired President/COO Target Securities, Member New York Stock
“I’ve been around for a long time but have never met a writer like Deacon Tony. I found this book to be extremely interesting from a writer who talks from the heart and extremely cares about the good will of people. This story tells about real love and feelings that Tony feels for others and people he will never forget. God Bless you Tony and please continue to write.” – Stephen Ring, former Professional Baseball Player
“Tony Surozenski’s Go in Peace burns with the quiet fire of a servant’s heart—faith refined through service, love tested by suffering, and peace discovered in surrender. A luminous witness to God’s glory lived and shared.” — Dr. Sebastian Mahfood, OP, co-author with Ronda Chervin of Catholic Realism: A Framework for the Refutation of Atheism and the Evangelization of Atheists
Deacon Tony Surozenski was born on December 20, 1944, in Webster, Massachusetts, and has spent his life serving others through education, firefighting, and ministry. He attended St. Joseph Elementary School and Bartlett High School before earning a Bachelor of Science (1966) and a Master of Education from Worcester State College (now University). A certified Master Catechist in the Diocese of Worcester, he completed the four-year Diaconate Formation Program and was ordained a deacon in 1990.
Tony began his career as a science teacher in Oxford, Massachusetts, and later taught general, life, and environmental sciences for more than three decades at Shepherd Hill Regional High School, where he also served as Media Specialist. Alongside his teaching vocation, he worked as a firefighter and Captain of Ladder Company One for the Webster Fire Department from 1966 to 1990, later serving as Fire Chaplain until 2008. His compassionate leadership extended to the Massachusetts Corps of Fire Chaplains, where he was Chief Chaplain’s Aide for Spiritual Care, and to regional Critical Incident Stress Management and Suicide Prevention Teams.
In the Diocese of Worcester, he has served as both Assistant Director and Director of the Office of the Diaconate and has contributed to the Tribunal Office. His ministry and crisis work have brought him to sites of great tragedy, including Ground Zero after the 9/11 attacks. Deacon Tony continues to inspire through his witness of service, faith, and compassion—living out his lifelong call to bring God’s peace where it is most needed.

Have you ever loved your family deeply and still wondered how any of you survived each other?
The Schoolie is a warm, witty, and deeply reflective coming-of-age memoir told through the “window” of a schoolie (the nickname for a converted school bus). In Becca’s big Italian Catholic family, that bus becomes “Camp-a-lot”: part road trip machine, part rolling family circus, part accidental classroom for everything you do not learn at Mass.
Inside Camp-a-lot, faith and chaos share the same bench seat.
One minute you are having a genuine spiritual moment as the Grand Canyon rolls past in all its glory. The next minute, someone is sticking their head out the window screaming “Help me!” just to watch Mom panic and Dad hit the brakes. One minute you are trying to be holy. The next you are discovering that “urban navigation language” (also known as Dad’s creative profanity) is apparently required to drive a bus-sized beast through America.
This is family life as it really is: noisy, loving, ridiculous, and formative.
The name Camp-a-lot is no accident. It playfully echoes Camelot, King Arthur’s shining ideal of honor, loyalty, and righteousness. Camelot was beautiful, and yet it still fell. And as Becca grows up and looks back from adulthood, she begins to notice the same pattern closer to home: families can be built with noble intentions, then slowly worn down by human weakness, irresponsibility, spite, and time.
Which leads to the question at the heart of this book: If goodness gets torn down so often… why bother building anything at all?
The Schoolie answers with the kind of hope that does not deny reality. It offers refreshing, family-oriented humor alongside hard-earned insight, and it lands on a simple truth echoed by Pope John Paul II: you bother because it matters. You love, you create, you try, even when you know life can be messy.
Who this book is for
Why this book is unique
The Schoolie isn’t really about a bus. It is about what carried you then, what shaped you, and what still carries you now: memory, faith, family, and the stubborn decision to keep building even when things fall apart.
If you are craving a memoir with heart, meaning, and genuinely refreshing family humor, come aboard. The journey matters.
Paperback: $14.95 | Kindle: $9.99
“If you are looking for a fun read, you have found it! A family road-trip tale that blends innocent humor with adult wit, The Schoolie shows how God’s grace guides discernment, orders intellect to charity, and steadies leaders in service—proving that wisdom often wears a mask of humor, turning everyday choices into moments of sanctification, community, and hope.” – Dr. Sebastian Mahfood, OP, author of The Narrative Spirituality of Dante’s Divine Comedy
Suzanne has lived more lives than most people can name, and she writes like she’s telling the truth to God over a cup of bad coffee. With a sharp, irreverent eye for faith, family, and human nature, she transforms everyday chaos into stories that sting, delight, and linger.
Raised in the Sierra Nevadas, she sees life with the pragmatism and humor of a true mountain woman. From her latest book to her Substack newsletter One for the Road, Suzanne leaves readers laughing—and podcasters wondering why they haven’t called her sooner.
