| Summary: | "Bestselling author Jane Christmas decides to enter a convent to find out whether she is, as she puts it, "nun material." She also wants to understand why she has felt -- and avoided -- a siren call to religious life for so long. But just when she convinces herself to take the plunge, her long-term partner suddenly proposes marriage. Determined not to sideline her monastic dreams any longer, Christmas puts her engagement on the back burner and sets off on an extraordinary year-long adventure to four convents. In these cloistered communities of nuns and monks, she revels in -- and at times chafes and rails against -- the silent, simple existence she has sought all of her life."--Back cover. |
