Mary Ann Weakley

Opis

"Mary Ann Weakley's memoir has the authenticity of twenty years lived as a nun. Her stories of convent life are sometimes humorous and sometimes tragic, but always revealing. Those faced with making life-changing decisions will find inspiration."
- Lisa Patton, bestselling author of Whistlin' Dixie in a Nor'Easter and Southern as a Second Language
"Ms. Weakley's book is much more than a memoir. Monastery to Matrimony is an intimate account of the empowerment of women who espouse the religious life, and their coming of age after the Vatican Council II of the Catholic Church. It is a most revealing look at the evolution of compliant women of the cloth who reevaluated their purpose and vocations in the modern world, and the many human factors behind those once mysterious convent walls."
- Nona Kilgore Bauer, award-winning author of Dog Heroes of September 11th
"Monastery to Matrimony, from the first stirrings of hope through convent stories and marriage, will touch your heart."
- Marie Therese Gass, author of unCONVENTional WOMEN
