520    What is heaven on earth? The answer lies in this true 
       story of one young man's journey to find hope and purpose 
       with the help of an unlikely teacher--a compassionate and 
       wise old nun, whom the world had long-forgotten. By the 
       time Harvard-educated John Schlimm turned 31 years old, he
       had worked with some of the biggest superstars in 
       Nashville and served under the most powerful people in the
       White House. But something was missing. His life had come 
       to a standstill, lost in a whirl of questions about 
       belonging, faith, rejection, and purpose. He soon decides 
       to return to his small-town roots in search of a new 
       beginning. Returning home, John meets 87-year-old Sister 
       Augustine, the beguiling self-taught artist-in-residence 
       at the ceramic shop on the sprawling grounds of the local 
       150-year-old convent. John is instantly bowled over by 
       Sister's quiet grace and vision. Before long, his weekly 
       visits to Sister's shop become a master's class in the 
       meaning of life, love, humility, and second chances. As 
       she directed him on the road to self-discovery and 
       salvation, John returned the favor by putting Sister 
       Augustine on the front page of newspapers and showing his 
       friend that her life still had one very important and 
       unexpected final chapter yet to go.
