I really enjoyed the book. I was completely capitvated. When it came to the end, I wanted more. I was sad to see it end. So many questions unanswered.

My question is, will there be a sequel?

Hi Carrie,
How did you get the book written while holding a demanding full time job and what is your #1 tip for writers? Thanks so much!

Hi Carrie, wow. What a tale. I was especially moved by the Unconsecrated infant scene. Powerful. When you were writing that particular scene - did you know what Mary was going to do, or was it a surprise for you?

I'm still reading... I haven't finished the book.
( I'm on chapter 7.) I do love Mary's voice. It's almost poetic. Was it hard to write in first person present tense? Or is that just how the story unfolded to you? One of my favorite lines so far is "there is always a choice." So by taking away Mary's options she was forced to make a choice and join the Sisterhood. Did you have that idea early on or was choice and freewill something that later developed? I can't wait to finish the book. It came highly recommended by my editor Kat O'Shea.
