Mother John Berchmans had a dream . . .
Mother
John Berchmans Somers of the Sisters of St. Joseph dreamed of
establishing a college to serve the Catholic young women of western
Massachusetts. With the support of Bishop Thomas O’Leary, that dream
became the College of Our Lady of the Elms. In September 1928,
thirty-six brave students embarked on the grand adventure of being the
charter class for the new institution.
In their quest to obtain a
college education at a time when that was an unexpected route for young
women, these students will face challenges at home, at school, and in
their personal lives.
Katie O’Sullivan’s recently deceased mother
wanted her daughter to have more opportunities in life than to become a
farmer’s wife, but Katie leaves for college with a heavy heart. She
misses her father and the farm she left behind. Will she fulfill her
mother’s dying wish or will the land and animals she loves (not to
mention an attractive farmhand) lead her back home?
Beth Daviau
wants nothing more than to escape her abusive father and college is her
ticket to a better life, but to take advantage of that dream, she has to
abandon her mother and sister. What does it mean to honor one’s father
and mother and can she do that while pursuing her own dreams?
Vivacious
Nora Walsh is eager to take on the world, but an unexpected encounter
with her roommate’s brother and an unfortunate illness wreak havoc with
her plans, making her question everything she thought she knew about
herself.
Join Katie, Beth, Nora, and their classmates in their exciting first year as members of the charter class.
Left at the altar by Zach Richards ten years ago, Julia Manning
has buried her pain by leading a quiet life working at a bookstore,
helping her sister, visiting residents at a local nursing home, and
attempting to be a good daughter. When Zach suddenly arrives back in
town and her overbearing mother fixes her up with the last man on earth
she would ever want to date, Julia is forced to face her past, whether
she wants to or not.
A resident at St. Francis Nursing Home,
Elizabeth Phelps suffers from dementia and becomes convinced that a ring
Julia is wearing is actually her engagement ring from her beloved
Joseph, who is away fighting in World War II. As Elizabeth waits for his
return, Julia becomes determined to discover the mysterious story
behind the ring and to do whatever she can to help Elizabeth heal.
"The Rose Ring" is a gentle story of forgiveness and the power of love to overcome even the greatest obstacles.
