A New Novel Just for Catholic Women ... Catelyn Frank's life has taken a 180 degree turn: she used to be a New York fashion writer but now, thanks to some "serious re-assessment of life goals", she's headed off to Texas to study philosophy -- particularly her favorite philosopher, Saint Thomas Aquinas -- and maybe, just maybe, find that elusive Perfect Guy. Using the Thomistic method to help her with everything from dealing with her skanky roommate to figuring out whether or not she's lost her wits, gained weight, or chilled her charitableness, Cate makes her début in Catholic grad school with a feisty post-feminist attitude seasoned by grace, grit, and great humor as she fights to gain the respect of seven chauvinistic fellow philosophers.
