About this listen

When a northern California dilettante retreats to a convent for a week of introspection, writing, and a Thomas Merton study group, she is forced to confront her core beliefs. Is less truly more? Can generosity be learned? Forgiveness practiced? In this humorous send-up, short story writer Audrey Ferber channels one woman's empty nest grief and unsatisfiable desires.
