Autobiography of a former Catholic nun. A detailed account of the author's search for spiritual fulfillment. The author takes you through the sacrifice, rigors, humility and discipline of what it takes to become a professed nun. She shares her deep devotion and duty to God as a member of the 'religious', a Roman Catholic nun. But she senses something is missing from her life spiritually. So she seeks the truth that shatters her beliefs that have been a part of her for so many years. Paperback.
