BY DEBBIE MACOMBER
ABOUT THE AUDIO BOOK:
They were sisters once.
In a more innocent time, three girls enter the convent. Angelina, Kathleen and Joanna come from very different backgrounds, but they have one thing in common the desire to join a religious order.
Despite the seclusion of the convent house in Minneapolis, they're not immune to what's happening around them, and each sister faces an unexpected crisis of faith. Ultimately Angie, Kathleen and Joanna all leave the sisterhood, abandoning the convent for the exciting and confusing world outside.The world of choices to be made, of risks to be taken. Of men and romantic love.The world of ordinary women
Debbie Macomber illuminates women's lives with truth and with compassion. In Changing H! abits, s he proves once again why she's one of the world's most popular writers of fiction for and about women.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
With more than 140 million copies of her books in print, Debbie Macomber is one of today's most popular authors. The #1 New York Times bestselling author is best known for her ability to create compelling characters and bring their stories to life in her books. Drawing on her own experiences and observations, Debbie writes heartwarming tales about small-town life, home and family, enduring friendships and women who knit. Every book features the delightful sense of humor for which readers around the world clamor. Not bad for a woman who is dyslexic and didn't learn to read until she was in the fifth grade.
...Since I have written about so many books of Debbie Macomber's books and information on her life, I thought today, I would put in some information for those of you who are fans of knitting, like Debbie.
In addition to her bestselling novels, "Debbie's world" includes knitting pattern booklets and from Leisure Arts and her own yarn store in Port Orchard, Washington. That store, A Good Yarn, was named after Debbie's first "knitting book" in her popular Blossom Street Series. Universal Yarn launched Debbie's own yarn line in August 2010 designed to complement her Blossom Street series. She her husband, Wayne, serve on the Guideposts National Advisory ! Cabinet.
READ AN EXCERPT:
Kathleen waited in the cold rain of a Seattle winter as her brother placed her suitcase in the trunk of his car. She felt as awkward and disoriented as she probably looked, standing there in her unfashionable wool coat and clumsy black shoes. For the last ten years she'd been Sister Kathleen, high school teacher and part-time bookkeeper for St. Peter's parish in Minneapolis. Her identity had been defined by her vocation.
Now she was simply Kathleen.And all she'd managed to accumulate in her years of service was one flimsy suitcase and a wounded heart. She had no savings, no prospects and no home. For the first time in her life, she was completely on her own.
"I'll do whatever I can to help you," Sean said, opening the car door for her.
"You already have." Tears stung her eyes as her brother backed out of his driveway. She'd spent the last two months living at his house, a small brick bungalow in this quiet neighborhood. "I can't thank you enough," she whispered, not wanting him to hear the emotion in her voice.
"Mom and Dad want you to come home."
"I can't." How did a woman who was nearly thirty years old go home? She wasn't a teenager who'd been away at school, a girl who could easily slip back into her childhood life.
