Despite the relative seclusion of the convent house in Minneapolis, they're not immune to what's happening in the world around them. In 1972 Angie's involvement with a pregnant teenager triggers a crisis of faith. At the same time, Joanne's relationship with a Vietnam veteran brings her face to face with the choices she made - and didn't make - in her own life. And when Kathleen's innocent friendship with a parish priest comes to light, she's forced to "contemplate" the error of her ways.
Angie, Kathleen and Joanne all leave the sisterhood, abandoning the convent for the exciting and confusing world outside. The world of choices to be made, of risks to be taken. Of men and romantic love. The world of ordinary women.

This is the story of four young women who become nuns. Their experiences and the reasons they left. I enjoyed it very much. I felt enlightened by things I never knew about nuns.

Another great Macomber favorite of mine.
Good book
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It gives you such an insight into the lives of young women who choose to pursue the vocation of being a nun. It also allows you to realize that these are real women with dreams and desires and the difficulties that each faces in their pursuit of their love for God and service to HIM.
This was a wonderful story about three young girls who became nuns in the late 50's - early 60's and their evolution to and different life than they had at first imagined. A great story - fabulous characters...very intriguing. I also learned alot about the Catholic church and how it evolved during that time.
They were sisters once.
Almost forty years ago, in a more innocent time, three girls enter the convent. Angelina, Kathleen and Joanna come from vastly different backgrounds, but they have one thing in common – a desire to serve, to join in the community of sisters.

In 1972 Angie’s involvement with a pregnant teenager triggers a crisis of faith. At the same time, Joanna’s relationship with a Vietnam veteran brings her face-to-face with the choices she made – and didn’t make – in her own life.
