Maresi

"Only women and girls are allowed in the Red Abbey, a haven from abuse and oppression. Maresi arrived at the Abbey four years ago, during the hunger winter, and now lives a happy life under the protection of the Mother. Maresi spends her days reading in the Knowledge House, caring for the younger novices, and contentedly waiting for the moment when she will be called to serve one of the Houses of the Abbey."--Back cover.
