Book excerpt: Raine Rassaby, an idealistic senior at a Manhattan Catholic school, and Al, her troubled guidance counselor who suspects his wife is cheating on him, embark on journeys of self-discovery when she is sent to see him because her world-saving ways are getting in the way of her studies.
Making a second attempt at her senior year in high school, Raine Rassaby is now enrolled in St. Ursula's Academy for Girls, where she has been made the special charge of guidance counselor Al Klepatar. But Raine, more concerned about the world's problems than going to college, spends her time rescuing wounded birds, befriending street people, and organizing protest groups such as St. Ursula's Girls Against the Atomic Bomb. And so Al finds himself balancing Raine on the one hand and his personal life on the other: he suspects his wife is in love with another man. It is no surprise that Raine tries to charge her way into Al's life, but it is surprising that he lets her in. Drawing on each other's dreams and fears, these two lost souls form an unlikely friendship one that will teach them things they never knew about themselves, the people they love, and the world around them.

The cult of St. Ursula and the Eleven Thousand Virgin Martyrs of Cologne was the most widespread relic cult in medieval Europe. The sheer abundance of relics of the Eleven Thousand Virgins, which allowed for the display of immense collections, shaped the notion of corporate cohesion that characterized the cult. Though the primacy of St. Ursula as the leader of this holy band was established by the tenth century, she was conceived as the head of a corporate body. Innumerable inventories and liturgical texts attest to the fact that this cult was commemorated and referenced as a collective mass - Undecim millium virginum. This group identity informed, and was formulated by, the presentation of their relics, as well as much of the imagery associated with this cult. This book explores the visual, textual, performative, and perceptual aspects of this phenomenon, with particular emphasis on painting and sculpture in late medieval Cologne. Examining the ways in which both texts and images worked as vestments, garbing the true core of relics which formed the body of the cult, the book examines the cult from the core outward, seeking to understand hagiographic texts and images in terms of their role in articulating relic cults.
