Bonnie is the author of 61 Minutes to a Miracle: Fulton Sheen and a True Story of the Impossible. The book tells the story of her son James’ stillbirth and how, through the intercession of Venerable Fulton Sheen and for the glory of God, he came back to life after being without a pulse for 61 minutes.  This miracle was approved by Pope Francis on July 5, 2019 for the beatification of Ven. Fulton Sheen.
