Leaving her tattered faith on the convent doorstep, Sister Janice grabs her suitcase of unusable clothes and steps into her sister’s car—and into her new life. It’s the beginning of her jaunt through “the rest of her life.” Navigating the totally foreign world that is now her life, Janice experiences the challenges, and the joys, of all that world offers—numerous ill-fitting jobs, world travel, raising a family, and so many other completely unexpected life events. Continuing the journey started in Janice’s successful memoir, What Would Your Father Say?, her new memoir, Resilient, leads readers on a highly personal trek toward a life of normalcy and self-esteem. And the many surprises life threw her way that even Janice could have never imagined.
