Fics like A Life Lost, A Life Forgotten, A Life Built

“Do you ever miss her? Sister Bernadette, I mean….” Tilting her head to the side, Sister Julienne tries to choose just the right words to encourage her friend. “My dear, I do not miss Sister Bernadette, because you and she are one in the same.......you are far, far happier now, than you ever were as a member of this Order. You exude a quiet joy that is a blessing to all who know you, and instead of helping others bring children into the world, you now spend your days raising the three you’ve been blessed with. Your vocation changed, but you did not disobey the calling the Lord placed in front of you.” - On a summer day in 1958, an accident almost takes the life of Sister Bernadette, and though she survives, she has no memory of her life as a nun. This is the story of the life she builds afterwards--a life with Patrick, with their children, and with their dear friends and colleagues.
