Book excerpt: Monastery Mornings is a memoir of a young boy from a broken home growing up with a colorful community of Trappist monks in the mountains of rural Latter-day Saint Utah. Michael O'Brien was raised in the 1970s by a single mother...and by monks. He wrote down his memories of the monastery when it closed in 2017, intending to memorialize his Trappist friends. What he really did, however, was document his own formation, specifically how a childhood spent with Trappists revealed a path on which the author learned to live a life as a man of faith, hope, and love.
