In this moving and profound collection of 100-word stories about Benedictine nuns, Susan Sink allows us intimate glimpses into their experiences as women religious in a changing world. The elegantly-crafted passages tell of sacrifice, hardship, loneliness, levity, the many challenges and joys of life in community, in voices both diverse and authentic. Habits is a beautiful book.
