Maureen Collins, recently named Sister Matthew in the novitiate at St. Euphrosnye's convent in Western Maryland in 1962, doubts the existence of God. She entered the convent for several reasons: she thinks being surrounded by believers might help her believe; she knows she's attracted to women and wants to avoid pressure to date men and marry; and she feels guilty about something that happened when she was in high school. She quickly falls in love with Rose Clancy, now Sister Rose, another novice who also is attracted to women. Rose is more religious, but she reciprocates Sister Matthew's feelings. She grew up with an alcoholic mother and found a refuge among the nuns who taught her.As the two move through postulancy and the novitiate, they encounter many challenges from the strict rules to memories of their respective pasts. The memory of an old murder intrudes in the present.*******What reviewers are saying: "A landmark book! The first novel to focus entirely on pre-Vatican II novices.

There's even a murder mystery."Becky Bohan, author of A Light on Altered Land"Why does a nice Jewish girl like me love a book about nuns? Because it's written by Carol Anne Douglas, a brilliant author who makes me chuckle, cry, and marvel on alternate pages.

Academic, theological and cultural discussions on fundamentalism are overwhelmingly dominated by a discourse on the need for 'modernization and development' in the Muslim world. Yet, the crude distinction between East and West, religious and non-religious, Muslim and modern frequently fails to understand the undercurrents of psychological thought patterns in modern forms of fundamentalism. If we genuinely want to have a deeper understanding of contemporary tensions, Muslims as well as non-Muslims need to look beyond geopolitical explanations and recognize how key dimensions of Islamism are deeply linked to the modern, masculine 'mind'. This psychological and feminist exploration identifies some of the intricate links between modernity, Islam, gender, sexuality, violence and fundamentalisms. Mediated by certain psycho-theological 'penetrations and (s)permutations', they form the psychology of a growing global paranoia about 'the other', East and West. Endorsements "A fascinating, unconventional and striking book. Its limited concern with formal academic expectations and conventions gives it a touch of unpredictability and freshness that challenges those with fixed ideas about their responsibility to Islamic scholarship and those who believe that the last word has been said on Islamic knowledge systems." - Ashis Nandy, Political Psychologist, winner of the Fukuoka Asian Culture Prize, author of The Intimate Enemy. "Meticulous scholarship and deep insights that offer new perspectives in an area that is still generally discussed in terms of a conflict between secularism and religion. Brilliantly weaving together the threads of her argument, Dr. D. Latifa brings us back to hypermasculine/dominator undercurrents in both religious fundamentalism and secular modernity. A very courageous book that shines new light on how we can transcend present thinking and move forward at this increasingly dangerous time in history." - Riane Eisler, president of the Center for Partnership Studies, author of The Chalice and the Blade and The Real Wealth of Nations.
