In this work, author Catherine Whitney seeks to understand what drives women to live their lives in the service of God. Returning to the convent where she was educated she meets the diverse and individual women who have vowed to serve. She recounts their stores, identifying their moment of calling, and the challenge of maintaining faith while seeking spiritual fulfilment. The book questions the changes and conflicts nuns face today, and asks, with profound insight, how different are these women from the rest of us?
