Half amusing, half serious, "The Mystical Ticket Booth" is a true account of a girl who meant to be an actress but turned out a nun -- for a time. Enjoy the irretrievable America of her youth in the forties and fifties, her impossible mother, and a trip through the cloister more reminiscent of "Please Don't Eat the Daisies" than "I Leapt Over the Wall". If you're ready for Laughter, some insight into life in a French/American convent and the effects of aggiornamento, this memoir is the book for you.

Patricia Colling Egan has forsaken the charming Maine cottage that replaced the original Ticket Booth and gave birth to this book. Having acquired a wreck farther Down East which demands that she inhabit a construction site for the foreseeable future, she occasionally questions her sanity. At such times her sanity replies "But this is where my heart is. It's home." Look for the construction site to produce several more books bearing no resemblance to this one.
