Book Club to Discuss Rosary Graduate's Novel

Luisa Buehler, author of The Rosary Bride: A Cloistered Death, will discuss her book at the July 31 meeting of the Dominican University Book Club. Buehler is a graduate of Rosary College (now Dominican University).
The Rosary Bride: A Cloistered Death takes place on the campus of Regina College, a small Catholic women’s college not unlike Rosary College during the early 1970's. Amid rumors of a beautiful young woman who haunts the campus after her mysterious death 50 years ago, Grace Marsden determines to discover the truth about her demise. Complications arise when, during the renovation of the college library, a skeleton is unearthed and the investigating police officer dredges up decades-old secrets and tales of betrayal.
Grace enlists the aid of a nun who lived at the college in the 1940's and together they try to unravel mysteries that lead them down the dark corridors and underground tunnels of the college, all the while stalked by a killer who is determined to keep the past a secret.
Join the Dominican Book Club for a discussion of this murder mystery with author Luisa Buehler. The discussion will be held at 7:00 p.m. in Room 003 of the Rebecca Crown Library on the Dominican University campus, 7900 W. Division Street, River Forest. For more information, contact Mary Pat Radke, assistant director of the library, at (708) 524-6870 or mradke@dom.edu.
Founded in 1901, Dominican University is a comprehensive, coeducational Catholic institution offering bachelor's and master's degrees. Dominican offers 51 undergraduate academic programs in the Rosary College of Arts and Sciences and 18 graduate programs in four graduate schools through the Graduate School of Library and Information Science, the Graduate School of Business and Information Systems, the School of Education and the Graduate School of Social Work. In the 2003 issue of America's Best Colleges, US News & World Report ranked Dominican University in the top tier of Midwest master's level universities and as a best value for the fifth consecutive year.



“As a student I wanted an intimate community. As an aspiring journalist I wanted a big city. Dominican gave me both—and so much more.”
