She also writes of her fiercely independent mother, whose skill with healing plants and inner strength she inherited. She writes of her druid teacher, the brusque but magnetic Giannon, who first introduced her to the mysteries of written language. But disturbing events at the cloister keep intervening. As the monastery is rent by vague and fantastic accusations, Gwynneve's words become the one force that can save her from annihilation. 21256 10 9 2002 Confessions of a Pagan Nun: A Novel total:320|5:4|4:4|3:2|2:1|1:0| 320 1232 519 57 3 2 false false Sun Apr 13 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Mar 28 19:11:00 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 14 07:45:24 -0700 2008 more...]]> 1 2 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 09 20:21:56 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 09 20:29:59 -0800 2008
