About the Event
What happens when two women commit to serving the Catholic Church as nuns—Brides of Christ, taking vows of chastity—but fall passionately in love and enjoy 40 joyous years together? They must defy the Church’s rules against same-sex relationships and blaze a bold trail for a joyous, adventurous life—at a time of increased violence and hatred toward the LGBTQ community and when same-sex marriage was decades in the future.
This is the story of Joanie Lindenmeyer and Carol Tierheimer, as told in a provocative new book, NUN BETTER: An AMAZING Love Story by Joanie Lindenmeyer with Carol Tierheimer.
