Looking for Purpose Ms. Calderone grew up in a small town on Long Island, where, she said, her worldview, was fairly limited. “We didn’t travel,” she said. “We didn’t eat anything other than our Italian American pasta-and-meatballs kind of situation.” As the daughter of two hairdressers, she was enamored with the business of beauty. “I…

The abbey was called Ystrad Fflur (Strata Florida in the Latin spoken by the Cistercian monks who ran it). It means Vale of the Flowers in English. Today, much of…
