Since her first publication in 1992, celebrated novelist Ann
Patchett has crafted a number of elegant novels, garnering
accolades and awards along the way. Now comes a reissue of the
best-selling debut novel that launched her remarkable career.
St. Elizabeth's, a home for unwed mothers in Habit, Kentucky,
usually harbors its residents for only a little while. Not so Rose
Clinton, a beautiful, mysterious woman who comes to the home
pregnant but not unwed, and stays. She plans to give up her child,
thinking she cannot be the mother it needs. But when Cecilia is
born, Rose makes a place for herself and her daughter amid St.
Elizabeth's extended family of nuns and an ever-changing collection
of pregnant teenage girls. Rose's past won't be kept away, though,
even by St. Elizabeth's; she cannot remain untouched by what she
has left behind, even as she cannot change who she has become in
the leaving.
