When Anna Franklin embarks on a graduate degree in cryptography at Oxford, she anticipates decoding puzzles. Only her studies are a bore, her family is all but nonexistent, and she can’t find a good slice of pizza to save her life. After her beloved advisor has a stroke and she’s assigned to work with cocky post-doc Hendrik Van Der Aart, she wonders if her purpose might be to crack the code on the meaning of her life, not the latest math riddle.
Devastated by personal loss, Sarah Flynn escapes to Rome where she finds a job teaching English. Only the girls' school is like a nunnery and she's expected to speak fluent Italian overnight. What has she gotten herself into? While the beautiful sights rekindle her interest in art, not even her brush finding canvas can heal all the wounds she carries. She'll need the help of a meddling nun, a nutty mathematician, and a handsome Italian admirer. Can Sarah overcome the insecurities born of a shattered marriage? Will she again take a chance on love?

This collection of stories and poems from the writers of Sacred Center are real stories about our real lives and lived experiences. We’ve been gathering every Thursday morning for the past twelve years in a little cabin in the countryside of Maurice, La. We gather, through centering prayer and ritual, to nurture our individual spiritual lives as well as one another. We come from various backgrounds, cultures, religions, and ethnicities. We are nurses, teachers, artists, writers, mothers, grand-mothers, and caregivers; but once our labels dissolve, we are essentially seekers of sisters who are attentive to the power of the Spirit within. Sacred Center has become a sacred vessel where deep and profound transformation can occur. These stories are sacred to this circle of women, so “care for them and give them away where they are needed,” writes author, Barry Lopez. As you drink deeply and slowly from the stream of our lives, allow it to enter you. May it water your own life and leave you thirsting for more.
