"A San Francisco nun... author [O'Marie] evokes convent life in the 90s with simple reverence and gentle humor." - Publishers Weekly
Sister Mary Helen is dismayed when, after the unexpected death of Sister Cecilia, the president of Mount St. Francis College, Sister Patricia is appointed the post. Sister Mary Helen is not in the new president's best graces and feels she surely will be asked to retire. But the chance to volunteer at a drop-in center for abused women and serve on the board quite revives Sister Mary Helen's flagging spirits — until a young woman who frequents the center is murdered.
