One of my oldest friends is going “on retreat” among the silent Trappestines to get her head together after a nightmarish relationship finally came to an equally nightmarish end. I want to give her a tiny token of love and support to send along with her… Her mother has a special book of devotions to give to her, so I’ve pretty much decided on a bookmark to go with it. Something along the lines of this gold-toned Celtic cross hook, maybe, to remind Caroline of her strong and sensible Irish grandmothers…
