A divorced mother of a 6-year-old daughter rents her downstairs flat to a man who's just broken from his order after 20 years in a monastery. In spite of some problems with troublesome ex-husbands, an ailing mother, and a whole abbey full of monks, the two fall in love. A New York Times Notable Book for 2002.

"THE MONK DOWNSTAIRS is an easy read about God. It seriously ponders the split between the contemplative life and life in the world while describing the most bedeviling aspects of simple survival on the secular plane....Does Love happen? Does God exist? Rebecca and Michael ask and discover answers to these questions in the midst of life's needs, not apart from them." - William Lucas (Ruminator Review, Winter 2002-2003)
