 Our Description

Book 4 of the series!
 
Even nuns get to take a holiday! This adventure begins with Sister Philomena and the children going off to Siena, for a vacation and to attend the famous Palio horse race and festival. A mystery unfolds as the threesome visit the original home of Saint Catherine of Siena. An original, but until now unknown, letter of Saint Catherine is discovered along with a plan to ransom it to the Pope. Clues send them off to Avignon, France and the famous Palace of the Popes. The history of the Church in the 1300s when the papacy was forced to flee from Rome to Avignon for safety, and Saint Catherine's role in bringing it back to Rome are revealed in this exciting adventure.
