      "Behind the Tapestry: My Discovery of God's Grace Amidst Chronic Pain and Loss" is a work of non-fiction in the biography, spiritual writing, and inspirational subgenres. It is best suited to the general adult reading audience.

      Penned by author M. Rose Peluso, this tender narrative memoir unfolds a poignant true story from behind convent walls, detailing Maryanne's struggles with chronic illness and her thwarted dream of becoming a Catholic nun. Initially a graphic designer with aspirations of Hollywood glory, Maryanne's life takes an unexpected turn after attending a Catholic prayer meeting, igniting a fervent desire to serve the Lord in religious life. The narrative raises poignant questions about life choices and the complex interplay between faith, calling, and personal well-being.

      Author M. Rose Peluso offers a powerfully crafted work that conveys the intricate journey into the depths of one woman's spiritual and physical trials. The book provides a gripping account of Maryanne's challenges within the convent due to her chronic pain, offering a candid glimpse into a heartfelt world of struggle that is told with tenderness, but also confidence, and a guiding warmth that inspires readers to keep the faith with her that things will work out all right in the end. The book is well-structured to give a good balance of emotion versus psychology, delving into the complexities of discernment, sacrifice, and the resilience required to navigate a path that intertwines devotion, personal dreams, and the unrelenting reality of chronic pain.

      As it builds to its impactful conclusion, Maryanne's story becomes an inspiring testament to the discovery of God's grace amidst profound challenges. Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend "Behind the Tapestry" to readers seeking accomplished memoirs on faith and endurance everywhere.

BIOGRAPHY
I'm a former Catholic Religious Sister (Nun), Educator and Graphic Artist. "Behind the Tapestry" is my debut book. My poem entitled, "The Meaning of Friendship" was featured in Sparrowgrass Poetry Forum's Poetic Voices of America Anthology, Summer 1991.

I have a B.F.A. from William Paterson University in NJ, a Master's Degree in Pastoral/Spiritual Theology from a seminary outside of Philadelphia and I'm a Certified Christian Life Coach.

I have been a chronic pain sufferer for over 23 years. My rare, debilitating, intractable condition is known as Pudendal Neuropathy. And I've written this memoir in hopes of helping other chronic pain sufferers. This is God's story as much as it is mine. I want to help & encourage others in their relationships with the Lord.

I currently live on the Jersey Shore with my elderly beloved mother.
