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.
Despite the relative seclusion of the convent house in Minneapolis, theyre not immune to whats happening in the world around them. In 1972 Angies involvement with a pregnant teenager triggers a crisis of faith. At the same time, Joannas relationship with a Vietnam veteran brings her face-to-face with the choices she made and didnt make in her own life. And when Kathleens innocent friendship with a parish priest comes to light, shes forced to contemplate the error of her ways.
Angie, Kathleen and Joanna 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 . .
