To "regain mental acuity" after a stroke, Sister Kathleen Cogan decided simply to write a short story about her life. Over time, that short story transformed into a remarkable, heart-warming memoir of three sisters from a ranch near Buena Vista, Colorado, and their lives and work as Benedictine Sisters. Growing up on the ranch shaped their lives, instilling a deep love of family, love of nature, and love of God. In Three Nuns from the Ranch , each sister shares inspiring memories of a happy childhood and recounts her significant and committed work in various Benedictine missions. The running current to each reminiscence-even the unexpected and entertaining adventures-is a profound recognition of the grace and wonder that surround them, from unforeseen guardian angels to the beauty of a mountain vista. To read their story is to live gratitude and joy.
