Called: The Making & Unmaking of a Nun, a memoir by Margaret Rogers Barrett, tells of her lively and free-spirited youth as part of a large family in a small town on a prairie in Minnesota; of her calling by God; and of her new calling to marriage and life as both mother and teacher. Along the way, we meet her remarkable family, both reveling and suffering with her as she experiences sometimes joyful, sometimes difficult times. In the end, this is a story of resilience and spirited immersion in all that life has to offer.

It is 1873, and Matty's cousin, Neely Allen, is now a teacher in Massachusetts. Her life seems fairly settled until she gets exciting news of a summer school about to be opened by the eminent scientist Louis Agassiz. When Neely joins the group of famous scientists and teachers at Agassiz's school on a little island off the coast of Cape Cod, she finds romance, adventure, and mystery waiting for her."Compelling, a real winner... Pitches the reader headfirst into a spellbinding tale of mystery, romance and science." - Olivia Vehslage, 5th grade student, West Hartford CT."Neely [is] a young woman with a passion for knowledge, justice, and her own independence." - Barbara Gopas Gubbins, School Library Director, West Hartford CT.
