Hope : the autobiography / Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Pope Francis with Carlo Musso ; translated from the Italian by Richard Dixon.
"Hope is the first autobiography in history ever to be published by a Pope. Written over six years, this complete autobiography starts in the early years of the twentieth century, with Pope Francis's Italian roots and his ancestors' courageous migration to Latin America, continuing through his childhood, the enthusiasms and preoccupations of his youth, his vocation, adult life, and the whole of his papacy up to the present day."-- Provided by publisher.
