"A former nun reveals the intimate details of her life within the enclosed world of an austere religious order."
I loved the book! Regardless of religious denomination, this speaks to the human spirit. The path, the journey are fascinating. The author successfully conveys the odyssey in language and honesty that make her struggles real to the lay person. Yet in the end the author retains her personal spirituality, and is deeply respectful of those choosing the religious life.
