Summary
In this intimate, captivating book, Catherine Whitney seeks to understand what drives women to live their lives in the service of God. On a journey of self-discovery, she returns to the convent where she was educated. Here, she meets the diverse and individual women who have vowed to serve. She recounts their stories of discovery and quest for meaning; identifying the defining moment of calling in their lives, and the painful challenge of maintaining faith whilst seeking spiritual fulfilment. The Calling is illuminating and powerful. Whitney questions the changes and conflicts nuns face in the 21st century and, with profound insight, asks how different are these women from the rest of us?

The anti-establishment generation returns to its roots.
Like many people of my genration, I dropped out of the Catholic Church in the late 1960s. Thirty years later, I returned to see the nuns who taught me, and I was surprisingly moved by their dedication and courage.
