Lifting the Veil

Lifting the Veil published by Hidden Brook Press - 978-1-897475-48-5 With a sharp eye for details Karen Cole takes us on a journey to the other side those mysterious places called convents and priories letting us see for ourselves what few have experienced and even fewer written about. Like the Joni Mitchell song she quotes in the book she has seen life from both sides now. The courage that took as well as the courage to write about it has to be applauded. Francine Pelletier Journalist and Filmmaker Karen Cole will get thee to the nunnery and then turn your habit inside out. You will find yourself falling in love with the charming Sister Bridget as she journeys behind the veil to discover the life of a Benedictine nun. Funny poignant -- and sometimes saucy! -- this honestly told memoir fascinates as it elucidates just what goes on behind the walls of the Motherhouse. Collette Yvonne author of The Queen of Cups
