The Wind Blows Where It Wants

A practicing Catholic, a graduate of ESSEC, and an employee for two years of a German pharmaceutical company, Marielle lives and travels abroad before settling in Sceaux, surrounded by a loving husband and 5 children overflowing with energy. She has "everything", everything that others could envy her, but strangely enough, something seems to be missing, another "Everything". Then begins a period of questioning, of reassessment. She experiences a conversion and, without anything in her daily life, except the number of children, changing, "Everything" will change: a conviction takes shape, Words resound. This true spiritual search, carried out by giving life, will lead her to the gift of her own life, to her own childbirth. As the days go by, with joys, sorrows, difficulties, battles won, doubts, she gradually feels inhabited by the certainty that by moving forward alone, the adventure is unreasonable and humanly impossible: she then learns to trust God, to find her strength in the sacraments.

Marielle Blanchier is the mother of 13 children. A graduate of ESSEC, she is the author of Et ils eurent beaucoup d'enfants (Les Arènes, 2013).
