Between Heaven and Earth explores the relationships men, women, and children have formed with the Virgin Mary and the saints in twentieth-century Catholic America, and reflects, more broadly, on how people live in the company of sacred figures and how these relationships shape the ties between people. Robert Orsi infuses his analysis with an autobiographical voice steeped in his own Italian-American Catholic background-from the devotion of his uncle Sal, who had cerebral palsy, to a "crippled saint," Margaret of Castello; to the bond of his Tuscan grandmother with Saint Gemma Galgani. This book is a brilliant critical inquiry into the lives that people make, for better or worse, between heaven and earth, and into the ways scholars of religion could improve the study of these worlds.
