Ninth Hour
About This Novel
On a short, dark winter day, Jim turned on the gas in his New York home, sparking a fire. His pregnant wife was treated by the nuns who arrived and she worked as a washer in the basement of the convent. Their daughter Sally was born and grew up in the convent and spent a sweet childhood. Sally was deeply influenced by the kind-hearted nuns and hoped to devote her life to helping her poor neighbors. When she grew up, she ignored her mother's objections and embarked on the road to practice in a Chicago monastery alone. However, on this overnight train, she saw the real poverty, ugliness and filth in the secular world. Will the young girl choose to continue to devote herself to suffering, or pursue love mixed with greed and desire?
