The JUNE book is The Patron Saint of Liars by Ann Patchett.
St. Elizabeth’s, a home for unwed mothers in Habit, Kentucky, usually harbors its residents for only a little while. Not so Rose Clinton, a beautiful, mysterious woman who comes to the home pregnant but not unwed, and stays. She plans to give up her child, thinking she cannot be the mother it needs. But when Cecilia is born, Rose makes a place for herself and her daughter amid St. Elizabeth’s extended family of nuns and and an ever-changing collection of pregnant teenage girls. Rose’s past won’t be kept away, though even by St. Elizabeth’s; she cannot remain untouched by what she has left behind, even as she cannot change who she has become in leaving.
