Beskrivelse

Julia Walsh gives me hope for a future with religious women changing the world. She tells a story all her own,but I felt her doubts, questions, and passion each step of the way. Highly recommended.Sister Helen Prejean, author ofDead Man WalkingandRiver of FireA questioning novice nuns coming-of-age story. Readers will be moved to reflect on the universal human experiences of being broken and the pull to be part of something bigger than themselves.At the age of 25, just a month into her novitiate as a Franciscan Sister, Julia Walsh fell from a cliff and became disfigured. While working toward healing, she felt pulled to religious community life, but also toward unresolved feelings regarding her own sexuality, identity, and injustice.For Love of the Broken Body is a story of pain, questioning, recovery, and discovery. What does it mean to exist as a broken body? Why would a young woman dedicate herself to the Catholic Churchto a life as a Franciscan Sisterwhile others are leaving churches in droves?The number of women choosing to enter religious life across the U.S. is shrinking rapidly, so Walsh encounters a lot of curiosity about her choice. In this memoir, she writes honestly about feeling drawn to men and to sex, as well as what it means, in this age of self-discovery and hook-ups, for a young womanphysically broken and still very much attracted to the worldto join a celibate, religious community.
