A Dancer from the Abbey [EPUB ebook] 

Damaris, a former ballerina, has been gardening at the Abbey, with the stalwart help of Benedicta, while Rachel, Damaris’s elder sister is the Abbey Guardian, responsible for showing visitors around, with a sideline in writing. Damaris has recently discovered that she is recovered enough, after what she thought was a career-ending injury, to consider returning to the stage.
