A Place called Nunnery

Book Cover & Preview Text
Class was over. Everybody filed out of the auditorium, except for Naomi. She sat in her seat, oblivious of the shuffling feet and murmuring voices. Her whole mind was focused inward on what to decide, civil law or interstellar law. The way she felt right now, she didn't care to decide on anything. With a deep mental sigh, she thought, what does it matter? Caleb is dead. Caleb's death would not go away. They had been inseparable, had grown up together. Later, they had studied law and in time would have married. Now there was this unbearable void. Going on alone was difficult. She still felt the guilt…she had survived the car crash; he had died. Now if I go into civil law, she though, I would have only two more semesters. But then what? Stay on Sarpedion, or go home to Novalis? Thinking of Novalis she shuddered; too many bad memories. If I go with interstellar law, I could become an ambassador like Aunt Mariam. I wouldn't have to settle anywhere in particular. Unconsciously, Naomi made a face. One path would take her far afield, but with the other, she could finish sooner. She sighed. There wasn't the incentive of staying in school anymore. I guess I'll take civil law and finish sooner, she finally decided. Suddenly, she heard a gurgling sound and wondered where it was coming from.
