West Reading, PA – In her poignantly intimate and inspirational memoir, That Was How It Happened, author Eileen DiStasio-Clark shares a deeply intimate experience of spirituality, searching for the truth, and transformation. With a singular blend of young curiosity and faith conviction, DiStasio-Clark charts her first dream to become a nun, then on to an unsuspecting path which leads her to a religion that she never intended to embrace.
Set in the early 1970s, the novel unwinds with down-home charm and depth as the writer candidly describes her adolescence within a traditional Catholic home. Her thirst for knowledge and uncompromising requirement of placing her life on par with God’s purpose propel her into a labyrinth of religious searching. Along the way, DiStasio-Clark navigates spirituality awakenings, familial demands, and life-altering events—which include an opportunity car accident—to arrive at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
What is so special about this memoir is DiStasio-Clark’s honest voice, seasoned with warmth, humor, and plain truth. Her encounters with unexpected kindness, her thoughtful reading of scripture, and her fervent inner turmoil come alive on the page—offering readers a spiritual mentor and an emotionally intense journey. This is not simply a story of conversion—it is a story of conviction, courage, and the quiet miracles that create a lifetime.
That Was How It Happened is a deeply moving work that will resonate with anyone who has wrestled with faith, tested tradition, or been bold enough to seek beyond the familiar for truth. It is a witness to spiritual strength and to the enduring force of divine leading.
