+ Want to read

After spending the last 13 years in a strict convent in Wales, Anna returns home when her brother dies and finds herself tending to a pregnant sister-in-law, small children, and a failing family business. And, though she feels at times like an alien, the experience stirs in her a desire to stay and administer to her long-denied passions.
