Fig Leaves Are Not Enough: Open Letters On Modesty In Dress by Dom Pius Mary Noonan, OSB

About the book: A young woman in her early twenties, Amanda discovers the importance of modesty in a somewhat unexpected way, thanks to an experience that transforms her life.

In a world that seemingly does not understand her quest for peace, she finds support in a priest, her spiritual father, from whom she learns much more than what it means to dress modestly.

In the spiritual correspondence that ensues, of which Fig Leaves are Not Enough: Open Letters on Modesty in Dress (2024) consists, true feminine dignity, the meaning of human love, the complementary roles of man and woman, and the ongoing spiritual combat that is required for the peace and salvation of the soul are the major themes that emerge and that make these letters a must read for any soul that longs for God over and above the ephemeral flattering of the senses.

This book is reverently and gratefully dedicated to all those women who, now or in the future, glorify God and edify the world by the beauty and dignity of their dress.
