About this episode

Msgr. Roger Landry discusses American saints and the Catholic roots of the United States, while Meghan Cox Gurdon previews her memoir, Free Range Girl.

As these United States celebrate 250 years this Fourth of July, Msgr. Roger Landry discusses the Catholic roots of our country and the many great American saints including the North American Martyrs. We also get a sneak peek of Meghan Cox Gurdon's new book, Free Range Girl, coming to bookstores this Fall. Set in the spirit of 1976, the memoir is a "powerful and luminous look back at a childhood that could likely never happen again, providing a striking counterpoint to the screen-saturated and tightly managed childhoods today."
