    "description": "<p>After the shock of her father&rsquo;s death, twenty-four-year-old Catherine was left grieving and alone. A search for meaning led her to Roman Catholicism and the nuns of Akenside Priory. Here she found a tight-knit community of dedicated women and peace in an ancient way of life. But as she surrenders to her final vows, all is not as it seems behind the Priory&rsquo;s closed doors. Power struggles erupt &ndash; with far-reaching consequences for those within. Catherine comes to realise that divine authority is mediated through flawed and all-too-human channels. She is faced with a dilemma: should she protect the serenity she has found, or speak out?</p>\n<p>A love song to a lost community and an honest account of her twelve years in the Order, <em>Cloistered</em> is also a cautionary tale about what can happen when good people cut themselves off from the wider world.</p>",
