Interview with Leila Lawler and The Summa Domestica

By Lisa Mladinich

Do you like a good story?
Enjoy this fascinating conversation with Leila Lawler about the role of beauty in her conversion from atheism, the critical skills of homemaking, and her fantastic new three-volume set, The Summa Domestica!

Order Leila’s beautiful boxed set here!

Leila Marie Lawler is a wife of one, mother of seven, and grandmother of sixteen (and counting!). She lives in Central Massachusetts. Leila encountered Christianity as a high school student and entered the Catholic Church in 1979, the year she was married to Philip F. Lawler, noted Catholic author and editor of Catholic World News.

Leila practices “kitchen sink philosophy” at Like Mother, Like Daughter, a website for practical and theoretical insight into all aspects of daily life. She writes on everything from cooking and knitting to education and recovering what she and her daughters call “the collective memory.”

Leila is a Fellow of the Center for the Restoration of Christian Culture, a project of Thomas More College of the Liberal Arts in Merrimack, NH. Her previous book, co-authored with David Clayton, The Little Oratory: A Beginner’s Guide to Praying in the Home, is published by Sophia Institute Press.
