Were greater things in store for her here or was this a new challenge that God placed before her, to strengthen her? Moving into a yurt, I had to smile thinking about Angeline adjusting to this more relaxed atmosphere. Dressed in jeans, the other nuns spent less time in prayer and more time in fellowship and other activities. The strict convent rules of the past, in which Angeline had become comfortable with are now cast aside and she now must learn how to adapt.

Living a life as a nun, her life would be structured, safe, and she’d be closely watched.

Anna is the founder and former owner of The Writers’ Workshoppe and Imprint Bookstore in Port Townsend, WA. Her writing has appeared in Psychology Today, Medium, Writers’ Digest, Washington 129 Anthology, Alone Together Anthology and more. Entering the convent, she would have very few choices in her life. Anna Quinn is the author of ANGELINE, (Blackstone Publishing, 2023), and THE NIGHT CHILD, (Blackstone, 2018). When she took a life of prayer, I felt that this was an easy way out for Angeline.
