Mary Rose Ricchio lived for nearly eighty exemplary years in suburban Boston. An inspiration to all who knew her, her quiet Spirit exuded profound generosity, purity of heart, and gentle kindness no matter what. Meeting Mary, you might think that her life was easy and untroubled. It was not. Yet always, Mary was there for those who needed her, including her dear friend's daughter, Martha, who was suffering prolonged ptsd and depression -- stalked by a man who had enacted lethal violence against her.

To honor Mary's Spirit, Martha Trowbridge offers suffering women who are in financial crisis gifts of her works of inspiration. Please write to:

specifying which titles you wish to receive, including -- if you wish -- the nature of your sufferings. Martha will personally receive and reply to each note.
