"A mesmerizing tale of glamour, secrets, and reinvention, I absolutely loved it." ---Jamie Ford, New York Times bestselling author of The Many Daughters of Afong Moy

In 1969, twenty-three-year-old starlet Lori Lovely shocks the world by ditching a promising film career to take vows as a Benedictine nun. The media can't get enough of the story.
