1570 in the Italian city of Ferrara, and the convent of Santa
Caterina is filled with noble women who are married to Christ
because many cannot find husbands outside. Enter sixteen-year-old
Serafina, ripped by her family from an illicit love affair, howling
with rage and hormones and determined to escape. While on the other
side of the great walls, counter-reformation forces in the Church
are pushing for change, inside, Serafina''s spirit and defiance
ignite a fire that threatens to engulf the whole convent.
SACRED HEARTS is a novel about power, creativity and
passion -- both of the body and of the soul. Hidden history brought
alive by a wonderful storyteller, renowned for her Italian
