This book is a collection of short stories about nuns who lived and worked in New York City in the 1960's. They were also nurses who cared for poor families in need of help. The stories are fictional but are based on the real life exploits of these women who lived and worked during a time when the country was torn apart by the Vietnam War and the Catholic Church was in upheaval after the Second Vatican Council.
