Not My Favorite of Debbie Macomber's books!!!

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.

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.
