Publisher's summary

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.

Figuring out loneliness

This was a simple story of lacking self-love and loneliness. It was well written and I was able to empathize with Donna and Zoe.

Short and full of content

For such a short story it was rich with content. Very descriptive and interesting.Held me captive is if I was listening to a full novel.
