Paperback. Condizione: Good. Hermits are a rare breed. Married hermits are about as common as spotted owls. Marry a Roman Catholic priest to a former nun, nest them in a mountainside hermitage named Still Wood, and you may have a brand new species. This memoir is a three-way love saga - God, a priest and a nun joined to minister to hermits world-wide and to the mentally disabled in the isolated mountain county of Bloody Madison, North Carolina. Each chapter weaves together incidents from four periods of my life - seventeen years in a middle-class Catholic home; thirty spiritually challenging years as a cloistered nun; six transformative years as a hermit, and sixteen loving years as a wife. My earlier book, Where God Begins to Be, A Woman's Journey into Solitude has created a crowd of curious readers asking Why would you? and How could you? marry a priest and continue your commitment to eremitical life? Answering this unforeseen Call has colored my autumn years with excitement, love and challenge.…

He's almost lost to memory, reflection, and a purposeful letting go of life. But when violence threatens to destroy another family, he takes drastic action in hope of restoring a portion of justice to the world.Can he fashion his life into an elegy, one that heals a broken heart and relieves the sting of death.…
