Every time one breaks, Rose Bowan loses consciousness and has vivid, realistic dreams about being in another woman's body. Is Rose merely dreaming? Or is she, in fact, inhabiting a stranger? Disturbed yet entranced, she sets out to discover what is happening to her, leaving the cocoon of her family’s small repertory cinema for the larger, upended world of someone wildly different from herself. Meanwhile her mother is in the early stages of dementia, and has begun to speak for the first time in decades about another haunting presence: Rose’s younger sister. In Little Sister, one woman fights to help someone she has never met, and to come to terms with a death for which she always felt responsible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maureen Collins, recently named Sister Matthew in the novitiate at St. Euphrosnye's convent in Western Maryland in 1962, doubts the existence of God. She entered the convent for several reasons: she thinks being surrounded by believers might help her believe; she knows she's attracted to women and wants to avoid pressure to date men and marry; and she feels guilty about something that happened when she was in high school. She quickly falls in love with Rose Clancy, now Sister Rose, another novice who also is attracted to women. Rose is more religious, but she reciprocates Sister Matthew's feelings. She grew up with an alcoholic mother and found a refuge among the nuns who taught her. As the two move through postulancy and the novitiate, they encounter many challenges from the strict rules to memories of their respective pasts. The memory of an old murder intrudes in the present. ******* What reviewers are saying: "A landmark book! The first novel to focus entirely on pre-Vatican II novices. Intelligent, romantic, and captivating." Nancy Manahan, co-editor of Lesbian Nuns: Breaking Silence "A faith-challenged novice and her "particular friend" take cloistered life to new heights. A witty, humorous, and deeply thoughtful story about finding one's true passion. There's even a murder mystery." Becky Bohan, author of A Light on Altered Land "Why does a nice Jewish girl like me love a book about nuns? Because it's written by Carol Anne Douglas, a brilliant author who makes me chuckle, cry, and marvel on alternate pages. And because I've learned from her that some nuns, a mysterious group of women I never understood, never traded their humanity when they donned their habits." Ellen Levy, author of Romance at Stonegate "An in-depth examination of convent life in the 1960s that is both poignant and insightful." Elena Graf, author of Occasions of Sin
