Thank you to Netgalley and the author for an eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Immediately intrigued by the prologue! This is a historical fiction novella about an American nun living in El Salvador during the civil war in the 1980s. I didn’t know about this piece of history and felt like I learned a lot despite the short length of the story!

The writing is beautiful and descriptive. We really get to know sister Agnes and see the effects of war and loss through the characters. I think the pacing was well done and I will be adding the suggested books mentioned at the end to my tbr so I can learn more about the civil war! Overall it was a fascinating look at strength, resilience, faith, and moral reflections set in the backdrop of a devastating time period for El Salvador.

I look forward to reading more from her in the future!
