Sister Catherine, prioress at the underground No Name Convent, has two terrible secrets. She has lost her God, and she has been clandestinely churning out bodice-ripper novels under the name of Lacy Dominion to keep the convent afloat financially. Sister Mary Margaret, 90, creates further chaos with social media posts about a Second Coming. Life at their fey, bizarre convent is upended, forcing everyone to tell the truth and find where she truly belongs.
“A fast, fun, uplifting read.”

Cat has everything—a condo on the ocean in San Francisco, a booming career, a great backhand—but she is losing her sanity and her soul. A man from her past, maverick quantum physicist Josh Siegel, promises her a direct connection with the Spirit that shaped the world if she will join him in a scheme to harness that power for a free, clean, unlimited fuel source.
As Cat’s uncanny gifts with Spirit emerge, so do deadly, long-concealed fears and anger, unleashing a fiery battle between good and evil in herself, with Josh, and with the malicious Consortium that runs the world and wants to stop them. Some change, some die, and Spirit reveals to Cat its deepest, most surprising secret.

Chasing Grace is a raw, humorous look at spiritual coming of age, at unconventional ways to heal deep emotional wounds, and at finding greater purpose in surprising places despite desperate odds. Cathy Callahan runs away at age ten to escape her mother’s abuse and find God, whom she first met in a Chicago public park. The next thirty years are a series of funny, brutal, and uplifting adventures that pit her humor and strength against the rage and confusion that make her reckless, desperate, and blind to gray areas. She finally stops running and retraces her steps to Chicago, where she faces her demons and finds unexpeted grace in the last place she thinks to look.
“Carol Costello’s acclaimed writing skills emerge razor-sharp in this gripping story of a young woman’s struggle with good and evil…peppered with vivid, oddball characters, leavened with biting humor, and driven by courage and spunk.”
—Ruth Chambers, The Chinaberry Album and other novels.
