Rueful Death
Susan Wittig Albert

China takes a retreat to a nearby monastery, where the sisters grow rocambole garlic for a living. But the peaceful harmony of St. Theresa's is threatened by arson fires and a rash of nasty poison-pen letters. These dirty tricks appear to be motivated by an attempt to change rustic St. T into a posh conference center for church higher-ups -- a plan made possible by a windfall inheritance from St. T's benefactor. China learns about forgiveness and mercy, and discovers some hard truths about her own limitations.
