Description
In an easy, conversational style, the author, a nun for over forty years, gives
readers the facts and fictions of the monastic life: how the choice is made;
what lies behind the vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience; the nuts and
bolts of monastic calling; what monks and nuns do all day; how they support
themselves; and why they live as they do. Brushing away the stereotypes
of sainthood, she provides an enlightening glimpse into a vibrant female
subculture that is richly diverse, faith-filled, and often supremely rewarding.
