Brand New. ISBN: 051770854x , Author: Catherine Whitney, 254 pages List Price $23.00. On a hilltop north of Seattle, overlooking the glorious vista of Puget Sound and the white-capped Olympics, stands Rosary Heights, the motherhouse of the Sisters of Saint Dominic of the Holy Cross. With this backdrop, Catherine Whitney takes a personal journey inside the order that ran the school she attended as a child - the order that, for a short time, she contemplated entering herself -and meets several valiant women who struggle with the practicalities of the world around them as well as the complicating issues of the life of a nun. They form a dramatic human chronicle of a community that has existed for centuries but is still evolving, and whose anxieties and joys are relevant, regardless of beliefs.
