The Opposite of Hallelujah

Caro's older sister, Hannah, has returned home after an 8 year absence.  Something drove her to become a nun at the Sisters of Grace Convent, but something has now sent her home.  Caro doesn't even remember her sister -- she left home when Caro was 8 years old.  Now she has returned, both anorexic and withdrawn.  Caro is embarrassed and tells her friends that her sister has returned home from the Peace Corps.....a "fib" which costs her her new boyfriend.
Read the book --- feel not only Hannah's pain, but the pain of the entire family.
