Impressionistic and dreamy, a nine-year-old girl immediately feels that she might be called by God when a Catholic missionary speaks to her third grade class at a Catholic school. The idea of this calling embeds itself into her, haunting her through elementary and high school, after which she chooses to enter the convent. Her story follows the five years she spent as an Adrian Dominican nun struggling to balance her desire for a secular life with her great fear of turning her back on God's call. Her stories are sad as well as joyous, inspiring as well as unsettling.

The Beautiful Nun demonstrates Finnegan's dramatic humanism with a sense of transcendence and mystery amidst the brutal landscapes of politics, religion, betrayal, and violence. Here is a voice compassionate when confronted with complexities, like Chekhov mixed with Marlowe or the Jacobean playwrights. The passion of a serious seeker underlies every word of the play, and a fierce Ulster realism breathes fire into the dialogue and the forensic openness of the play. This is art of great urgency, probing intensity, and crucial vision.

More and more people-- especially millennials-- are turning to religion as a source of comfort and solace in our increasingly chaotic world. Rather than live a cloistered life of seclusion, the Daughters of Saint Paul actively embrace social media to evangelize, collectively calling themselves the #MediaNuns. In this collective memoir, eight of these Sisters share their own discernment journeys, struggles and crises of faith that they have overcome, and episodes from their daily lives. They offer practical takeaways and tips for living a more spiritually-fulfilled life, no matter your religious affiliation. -- adapted from jacket
