About the Book

   A Place Called Morning explores the themes of love and longing through the lives of two women, separated by more than a century in time, both living in Ottawa, and both members of the community of the Sisters of the Holy Child. Each encounters love and experiences the cost of loving. Although Kate and Symphorosa choose different paths in their search for fulfillment, both are drawn to northern Ontario and to the small community of Silver Maple Springs, where an ancient Indian elder brings their stories together.
