Painter Honor
Sullivan has made a life for herself and
her three daughters – Regis, Agnes, and
Cecilia – at Star of the Sea Academy on
the magical Connecticut shore. Here she
teaches art at the convent school’s
beautiful seaside campus, over which
Honor’s sister-in-law, mother superior
Bernadette Ignatius, keeps a benevolent
and watchful eye. No one could have
foreseen the day rebellious Regis would
come home with the stunning news that
she was getting married. Nor could
anyone have guessed how that sudden
announcement would soon change all their
lives forever.
"She almost delivers...if only Rice
seemed to care. If only she didn't craft
an entire paragraph out of the word
"Moonstones," - PW.
"Overwrought and flimsy - but at least
the coastal scenery is lovely." -
Kirkus.
