Mother Nature: The Journals of Eleanor O'Kell

"Book of O'Kells: Mother Nature" is the story of the transformation of Eleanor O'Kell, the billionaire heiress who turns her back on unfathomable wealth as a teenager for the love of God the Father. She rises to the top of the Catholic Sisters of Mercy—the Sisters of Currency as they're known on Wall Street—but her thirst for sex becomes all but unslakable when she falls in love with the woman known only as Sister X. When the Order throws her out for betraying her religion by engaging in forbidden love, she writes them a big check and turns her attention to radical eugenics in the last town along the canal, from whence the O'Kells once came. Her quest to play God breaks all the laws of God and man and Mammon, as Eleanor O'Kell tries to create a town without men, with only "Tomgirls"—with unspeakable results. This is the first of the novels and stories from the "Book of O'Kells" by Michael Conniff.
