Summary:

"Claire Luchette's debut, Agatha of Little Neon, is a novel about yearning and sisterhood, figuring out how you fit in (or don't), and the unexpected friends who help you find your truest self"-- Provided by publisher.

For the last nine years Agatha and her sisters work together, laugh together, pray together. The four of them are devoted to Mother Roberta and to their quiet, purposeful life. When the parish goes broke, the sisters land in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, a former mill town now dotted with wind turbines. They head up a halfway house, where they live alongside castoffs like the jawless Tim Gary and the headstrong Lawnmower Jill. Forced to venture out into the world alone, Agatha teaches math at a local all-girls high school, where for the first time in years she will have to reckon with what she sees and feels all on her own. -- adapted from jacket
