Joan Holman; This is the true life story of a remarkable woman who has been determined to have therapeutic massage take its rightful place. Sister Rosalind Gefre was raised on a farm in Strasburg, North Dakota during the Dust Bowl and Depression. She did not finish school beyond the eighth grade and entered a convent in St. Paul, Minnesota, at the age of 18. At the age of 40, after nearly 20 years of daily chest pains that no doctor could diagnose or treat, Sister Rosalind experienced a miraculous healing when she had her first massage.
