Jesse Rose is a spiritual seeker who stumbled into the Catholic Church the way some people stumble into thrift‐store treasures--by accident, during a crisis, and with a story to tell. After moving to Florida in 2020, the pandemic delayed her baptism and sent her into a season of unexpected grace, awkward holiness, and divine plot twists. Her debut memoir, COVID Catholic, invites readers to notice God hiding in the crooked lines of everyday life.
""The most striking feature of Rose's memoir is how relatable it is in its depiction of the messiness of a spiritual journey and of how God's grace shines through that mess."" --David von Schlichten, Dean, School of Humanities, Seton Hill University
