Behind the Tapestry

Description

Is the compelling true story told from behind convent walls, of one woman’s struggles to “make peace” with a mysterious chronic illness and her unfulfilled dream of being a Catholic nun.

Maryanne was a 29- year – old graphic designer working towards a lifelong desire to move to Hollywood and become an Academy Award winning art director. But an unexpected invitation to a Catholic prayer meeting would forever change Maryanne’s life, showing her desires she didn’t know she possessed. Although she was somewhat content with her life at the time, surrounded by a group of loving Christian friends, an emptiness and longing in her heart emerged until one spring day in 1996 when all of that changed as Maryanne suddenly found herself unemployed.

After spending a lot of time in prayer, Maryanne embarked on a journey to discover God’s will for her life. This quest eventually led Maryanne to the convent and the realization that all she has ever really wanted was to devote herself to Jesus. But because of her lack of self-esteem and familial issues, her initial time in the convent was suddenly cut short.
