Stephanie's brother Gregor is about to make the biggest decision of his life. Having joined the Catholic order of the Society of the Divine Word (SVD) to become a missionary priest, Gregor is about to take his final vows and commit to a life of chastity, poverty, obedience and service to the Catholic Church. Critical of his choice, My Brother's Vows is Stephanie's attempt to understand her brother's decision and explore his world behind the thick monastery walls.
