The Monks' Barn

Becky lives in Colorado and is a mother of four, grandmother of eleven, and great-grandmother of ten. Her French husband, Claude, was born in the manor house adjacent to the barn, both of which remain in his mother's side of the family. Although the Grandmont Order's motherhouse no longer stands, Becky and her husband have often visited the barn and were especially delighted to take part in the 900th anniversary celebration commemorating the barn's construction by the Grandmont monks. She decided to write The Monks' Barn as a tribute to her late husband's heritage and in gratitude for his translation of pertinent research from Latin and French. Hopefully, any sales will help raise funds to keep the barn in good repair. The barn is recognized by the French government as a masterpiece in danger, and its unique history, along with its use now for various events, warrants its preservation.
