About this listen
WINNER - 2014 Golden Crown Literary Society Best Dramatic Fiction
“Here, the true you is most often magnified, for better or for worse.”
Abbess Theodora
In a world increasingly connected to computers and machines but disconnected to self and others, Dr. Michele Stewart finds herself drowning in a life that no longer holds meaning. Searching for a deeper connection after losing her partner, Alice, she enters a contemplative monastery, living a life dedicated to prayer, to faith in things unseen. Though most of her family and friends are convinced that she has become a nun to run away from her life, she finds herself more attuned to life than she has been in years. Stripped of the things that define most people in the outside world - career, clothing, possessions - she rediscovers a long forgotten part of herself. But sooner than she expects, the outside world intrudes, forcing her to confront doubts and demons she thought she had left behind. The ultimate test of her vocation comes from the unlikeliest source when she finds herself falling in love again. As she struggles to discern where she belongs, she discovers the terrifying truth of Abbess Theodora’s warning. For better or for worse.

Superb.
Oh my, what a story this is. So well written with a great depth and meaning. I was entranced.
This story pulled me right in and twisted my emotions. The descriptions of nun’s lives in an abbey were amazing. As a non religious person I was hooked.
Then there is the story of Mickey, Alice and Lauren. My emotions were all over the place, especially at the end.
Thank you Caren for a breathtaking book.
Excellent narration too.

Heartfelt and Insightful
I have read and listened to this work repeatedly. It is a gift to be cherished. Despite, or perhaps because of, the inevitable presence of death, thus story is a celebration of what it means to live life fully despite fear.

Beautiful and heartfelt
This isn’t what I expected- especially at the end. Ironically with the constant presence of death this was an expression of the joy of living. Wonderful.
