About this ebook

Shaken by tragedy, a lawyer seeks spiritual guidance from a TV nun in this “charmingly profound yet deviously humorous portrait of redemption and renewal” (Booklist).

Sam is an indifferent Chicago divorce lawyer content to drift though life on his good looks and his wife’s money—until a violent incident shatters his world. Suddenly, his only hope in life rests with Sister North, a no-nonsense nun who dispenses advice on TV. So Sam embarks on a pilgrimage to her studio in Lake Eagleton, Wisconsin.

Unfortunately, Sam has been watching reruns. Sister North has vanished and wild rumors abound. As he awaits her return, he becomes absorbed in the oddball life of Lake Eagleton, and finds himself thinking more and more about the nun's mysterious personal assistant, Meg.

In the followup to his acclaimed debut novel The Rich Part of Life, Jim Kokoris delivers a "funny, touching" story of forgiveness and hope (Publishers Weekly).
