A flier to promote sales of the book has this text:

The Extraordinary Life of Virginia Norman describes the amazing and inspirational story of Canon Virginia Norman in her over 60 years of service with the Episcopal Church, first in the Dominican Republic and then with the broader Provincial and National Episcopal Churches. From humble beginnings and a lifetime of service to being named “The Woman of the Century” for the first hundred years of the Episcopal Church in the Dominican Republic, Virginia has lived out her faith in the service of Christ and his Church. In English and Spanish, with pictures chosen by Virginia herself, and contributions from Susan Guise, Dr. Vickie Hall Stevens documents this exemplary story for men and women everywhere.
