Surviving Sanctity by Janet Cobb
Abandoned by her father and raised by a staunch Catholic mother, Janet seeks to make amends for her troubled teen years and to find a purpose for her pain. Janet subjects her rebellious spirit to the whims of an oppressive Mother Superior, immersing herself in the constructed reality of Roman Catholic convent life in the 1980s to serve God as Sister Mary Jude. Living in three countries and speaking three languages, she packs into thirteen years what many never experience in a lifetime. She dines with bishops and beggars, washes the feet of the poor, and holds hands with the mentally ill. All while ignoring the gnawing dysfunction of her religious surroundings. As the truth surrounding her father unravels, certainties shatter and life becomes a muddled question, forcing her to face her own truth. Surviving Sanctity is dedicated to those who suffer with depression. A portion of royalties will support the nonprofit organization Project Semicolon-because your story isn't over yet.
Janet Cobb has no regrets. Admitting you can take Janet out of the convent, but you can't take the convent out of Janet, she rejects fear and manipulation, and continually seeks courage to reclaim her sanity and her soul. Janet finds the grace to be resilient through cooking, writing, teaching, and channeling her creativity into impactful projects. She is grateful for the loving challenge and support from her husband and three children.
