For a long time there has been a gap in the readily available historical literature of the careful telling of the story of the Dominican Sisters in Washington County. That gap has now been ably filled with the publication of Paschala Noonan's Signadou. (The title derives from French patois that means 'sign from God.') The story is a significant one not only for women's studies, but for Commonwealth historyatlarge. The establishment of the Kentucky Dominican Sisters in 1822 represented the first American foundation of a religious community whose European roots go well back into the Middle Ages. Along with the Sisters of Loretto in Marion County and the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth in Nelson County, this sisterhood stands as one of the groups that helped bring faith, education, and traditional civilization to the 'first American West.' This book is a physically handsome piece of work and is filled with several sections of sharp blackandwhite photography, along with a few striking color pieces as well. The narrative moves well. The work is comprehensive and thoughtfully wrought. If a second edition is planned, a comprehensive index would make a welcome addition. Altogether, Signadou proves itself to be a fine piece of work on the Kentucky historical scene
