Overview
A love letter to a community of Trappist monks who provided familyĀ when it was needed the most.Ā
This warmhearted memoir describes how a small, insecure boy with a vibrant imagination found an unlikely family in the company of monks at Holy Trinity Abbey,Ā in the mountains of ruralĀ Latter-day Saint Utah. Struggling with his parents' recent divorce, Michael O'Brien discoveredĀ a community filled with warmth, humor, idiosyncrasies, and most of all, listening ears. Filled with anecdotes and delightful "behind the scenes" descriptions of his experiences living alongside the monks as they farmed, prayed, buried their dead, ate, and shared the joys of life, Monastery Mornings speaks to the value of spiritual fatherhood, the lasting impact of positive mentoring, and the stability that the spiritual life can offer to people of all ages and walks of life.Ā
