How does a kid raised by atheists end up in a convent? In her forties, Celia McBride abandoned her worldly life to follow a "sense of call" and explore the idea of becoming a Catholic nun. There was only one problem: she wasn't Catholic. Discerning the call to become something she wasn't turned into the greatest spiritual challenge of her life, as she was forced to confront her deepest values and beliefs and make a humble decision. Celia's memoir reveals the astonishing personal experiences of her unbecoming evolution, and the intimate stories that led to the ultimate answer she was searching for. If you're a seeker who is inspired by stories of travel, transformation and awakening to truth, then this book is for you. "Beautiful, subtle and inviting . . . so personal, so intelligent, so real . . . a book of healing for anyone who craves authenticity in themselves and others. This is a reverently (and irreverently) and brilliantly crafted integration of all the parts of Celia's life thus far. What a capable storyteller she is. She's got ALL the right stuff! All together she is so, so pure . . . her desire for direct encounter is poetic and poignant and relatable. The last pages of the book give us the huge payoff we are longing for, the reflections we want for ourselves." ~ AS, trauma survivor "Very thought-provoking. Anyone who has ever contemplated a big change in life can identify with this story." ~ WH, writer, fellow traveler "Celia McBride's memoir illustrates her deep generosity of spirit, and her willingness to openly share her experiences with others, and it will most certainly help others to see the very great value in the sharing of one's life experiences. The work is moving, deeply insightful, honest, remarkably courageous, and compelling. One wants to know where she is going next on her journey, with whom the next important conversation will be." ~ JM, survivor
