Strange little book that kept me  there from beginning to end.  The new planet was described so well that I could see it, which is a great skill for an author to have.  I too liked that the women we're depicted as brave, intelligent and strong.  I don't think they were helped much by men often at all, which is incredible seen as they were terra-forming a new planet.  I liked this book a lot and the commencement address at the end was a terrific and inspiring piece of reading.  Although the women were nuns, the religious side of this book was non intrusive.  There was no demons, no wars, no roughness - just a group of women who by their softness, intelligence and commitment did the  seemingly impossible.  it was a refreshing change.
