At seventeen, Pauline Grogan entered a convent determined to become a Catholic nun. Seven years after taking her final vows, she found herself back in the secular world, bewildered and forced to begin again. This memoir follows her struggle to preserve faith through abuse, isolation and profound change, and her later life as a wife and mother. Honest about despair as well as hope, Grogan's story traces a difficult path beyond the convent and celebrates the love, courage and spiritual conviction that enabled her to rebuild.
