I have lived with a Catholic husband for 32 years and NEVER understood the reason why any woman would want to be a nun let alone a cloistered nun. Thanks to Eleanor LaBerge, I have a small inkling why someone would choose that life. Her characters are absolutely believable. The trials of faith of each of them are wonderfully told. The compassion and love and even the difficulties and conflicts in the community are very well drawn. She makes me want to believe that the monastery at Our Lady of Snows is there when I need to go on a retreat. I adored the book and can hardly wait for the next one. I recommend that you don't start this book until you have an absolutely free day and night, because you will not be able to put it down.
