Victoria encounters a unique experience when she books a rustic cabin-a poustinia-in the woodlands of the Monastery of St. Carmella. While trying to discern her future, she meets other guests who face their own challenges in life. The Sisters also have a dilemma, as they anticipate a merger because of their dwindling numbers and an aging congregation. Will they lose their beloved homeland, nestled among the vineyard, forest, and lake? The nuns needed income. The guests needed hope. They come together in an endearing story of friendship, generosity, and love.
