The Accidental Nun by Christine Meeusen

The story of the accidental nun takes the reader on a journey with a business analyst and mother of three, passing through a financially and emotionally devastating divorce, and re-locating with her three children a few times before landing in California. As she walks through the dark tunnel of experience first-hand what it is like to be a 'throw-away' person in America, the idea of a Sisterhood forms. The author takes her outrage at the system, her sadness over the unmendable status of relations with her children's father, her disappointment with her own birth family, and uses the pain and anger of all that to fuel the re-birth of a Beguine movement and a new-age Sisterhood.
