The human spirit cannot long abide the unknown and the uncertain. When the meaning of her own life begins to be lost to her, a woman artist strikes out to find her husband dead or alive.

She finds a job, amazingly, but incurs the wrath of her boss for “fraternizing” with the customers.  Here she makes new friends and becomes a healer of sorts.

It is Maggie’s belief that simple acts of kindness change the world; what she doesn’t know until the conclusion, is that those acts will change her world as well.

It is 1959. Emmeline Wilson, 13, has read the Lives of the Saints and she means to become one.  She leaves her beloved younger sisters to become a nun and travels far from home to join the Sisters of the Suffering Savior, a place she imagines will save her from a dangerous world.

In this place of profound silence, the assault of her spirit by her superior, and aching loneliness, Emmie exults in her covert and constrained friendships with the other aspirants and one of the “day girls.” Sensing she is coming apart, Emmie faces a conundrum: she cannot remain and she cannot return home. 

This is a story of betrayal and of loss, but ultimately of the triumph of a spirit who finds as we all must, her way alone and in the dark.
