Change of Habit

Michelle Gallagher, Irene Hawkins, and Barbara Bennett are three nuns who are volunteer nurses sent into a poor, racially-mixed neighborhood. In order to "fit in" they arrive sans habits. The clinic is run by a young doctor, John Carpenter. Each of the three women is confronted with a different personal issue of a secular nature. How will their change of habit affect each one's solution--and will their change of habit be permanent? Supporting characters include the old parish pastor, the local moneylender, an autistic child, and a couple of neighborhood snoops.
