Publisher's Synopsis
Are you ready for Philo? The nuns at the convent of the Good Shepherd in Dublin's North Wall certainly aren't. But on a quiet Sunday evening they find their peace shattered by loud knocking on the door - and there she is... "I feel like Julie Andrews in THE SOUND OF MUSIC she says. "I've nowhere else to go." Weighing in at 240 pounds and covered in tattoos, Philo doesn't look much like Julie Andrews. But Philo is desperate. She's on the run from her husband, Tommo, and she needs refuge. The good sisters take her under their wing, and before long she finds a new role at the centre of the beleaguered community. With a heart as big as her waistband, there's plenty of love to go round, but Philo knows that she will need to face up to the cracks in her own life soon...
