No, she was not going to need those ...
Mom thought grimly, as she found herself returning the few books that she had selected for comparison before purchase, back to their respective shelves.
Now was not the time to buy thick books with lots of words. If ever she needs to check up on the story of Bernadette, she would just do so on the internet. She was not going to buy a book where the ending was not to her benefit.

Rubbing her cold hands together, she walked aimlessly and in a state of a stupor, to another segment of the store. Stopping by the children's corner, her sombre mood was instantly lifted by the vibrant and colorful books that were on display.
There is just something about little children, she mused as she reached out for a book.
Even God loves little children and they have a special place in His heart.
Mom finally decided to buy You a simple hard cover book entitled, The Rosary, that consisted of beautiful drawings and illustrations, along with simple prayers printed in cute fonts.
