Overview
We first met Sr. Mary Baruch in Volume One, when her name was Rebecca Feinstein. She was a nice Jewish girl from the Upper West Side of Manhattan. To the chagrin of her good family, she became a Catholic, and five years later, at the age of twenty-five, she entered a Dominican cloistered monastery, where she became Sr. Mary Baruch of the Advent Heart. Those were the early years. In this present volume, she's in her middle ages and passing through her own midlife crisis. Having now been a nun for over twenty-five years, she finds that her family, her Church, her community, and her life are all going through changes and tragedies as the third millennium approaches. Will the Faith save her or lose her?
