At a Benedictine abbey in rural New Hampshire, Sister Clare, a young novice, confronts day-to-day realities of a cloistered existence. Linking these two is Isabelle Howell, a college student soon to discover that she must chart the course of her own life in a way she could not have imagined"--P. [4] of cover.
