Plot Summary of Lily Snow
"Lily Snow is a woman whose inherent goodness leads her to embrace the religious life and become a nun. During the course of her religious career, she is ever determined to set right what she believes to be wrong; but in doing so she comes across any number of worldly people who, having no respect for her as a woman of the cloth, have no qualms about setting upon her in the most vicious and violent way. Despite her trials and tribulations, she perseveres in doing the Lord's work. She refuses to acknowledge that in today's world, where money is everything and corruption everywhere, no good deed goes unpunished. "
Renald Iacovelli, Resident Scholar
