And Then There Were Nuns: Adventures in a Cloistered Life by Jane Christmas
5.0
I needed this book.
This is the story of Jane, who thinks she might be being called to the life of a nun, but gets engaged right before she embarks on that journey. The whole book is her battle with the desire for simplicity and religion versus her "normal" life and what path she should take. It deals with so many issues across the spectrum of life, love, the church (Catholic vs. Anglican experiences), abuse, societal expectation, personal journey of faith...so deeply relatable and fascinating. Honest with the positives and the negatives of her path to whether or not she takes vows...I LOVED this book. I loved the genuine, no holds barred take on the mysteries of life and faith.
