Kathleen takes us behind the scenes on retreat with Catholic Benedictine monks and sisters, exploring her own spiritual development along the way. She posits that perhaps the monks and sisters are living the real life while we are caught in the fantasy world of everyday "reality." Her descriptions of the monks and sisters are especially insightful and touching. I was particularly taken by the elderly monk who has fallen and seriously injured himself. Kathleen and another monk go to visit him, and when the nurse tells him that he has two visitors, he replies, "It's a sweet life."
