Sisters, nuns, aspirants, postulants, novices: What does it all mean?

[Sister Leticia]

Thank you, Nunsuch, for the plug for Monique's book. I have to confess I've never read it, even though I knew Monique (who died very suddenly a couple of years ago). My community doesn't have a copy of it and I don't own a Kindle. But I'll be visiting the noviciate next week, so I'll ask if they have a copy they can lend me.
