Theodore Maynard’s landmark biography Too Small a World: The Life of Mother Frances Cabrini has been buried by the sands of time. It was, and remains, the only study to draw directly from letters, private records, Vatican documents, and interviews with those who personally knew the Italian-born nun, while still capturing the cinematic drama of her story. “Maynard’s work was considered the standard treatment of Cabrini’s life,” explains Nicholas Redemacher of Cabrini University.
Yet after Milwaukee’s Bruce Publishing Company closed its doors in the early s, Too Small a World never passed through the presses again. Aside from a few self-published scans, it has been unavailable for over forty years.
Ignatius Press, however, has recovered the lost gem. On Tuesday, March 6, , the San Francisco–based publisher will re-release this classic study of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini as a paperback, to parallel the theatrical release of Alejandro Monteverde’s film Cabrini. Whereas the motion picture focuses on Cabrini’s social work and active life, Maynard’s biography also offers glimpses into the saint’s intense faith.

Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini: Cecchina's Dream
This is an excellent series is! Between my three children and I we have now read nearly all of the books in this series. I read them either by myself, or with one or more child. My youngest 2 children ages 13, 10, still both love these books. And they have read or reread them to us. My son wants to have the complete set in his room, so he keeps asking to buy his own set, because he loves these books so much. We have picked up several volumes to donate to the school library. I would love to have the whole set in the school library as a resource when the students are picking confirmation saints. Each time we read a book in the series we appreciate this series more

When you search for the movie Cabrini from Angel Studios, the top search result is the question, "Was the movie based on a true story?" The answer is yes, but to provide a more detailed explanation, the Sophia Press Institute re-released a best-selling biography of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini as a special edition to accompany the movie. The World is Too Small: The Life and Times of Mother Cabrini by Theodore Maynard, with a foreword by Cardinal Timothy Dolan, provides incredible details and first-person testimony about the life of Saint Frances Cabrini.
In my family, I heard stories of my great-grandparents' devotion to Mother Cabrini as Italian American immigrants who arrived in the United States in the early s. Reading this book provided me with an opportunity to go beyond the family stories and learn more about Mother Cabrini and why her life inspired so many.
