fascinating look at life inside the convent
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
As a former Catholic schoolgirl who grew up in the 60s and 70s, I loved this book. It provided a look inside a place I'd only known from another perspective. Kelly's Sister Maura was completely believable, as were many of the other nuns and neighborhood people she encountered. Moving, humorous, and an accurate view of Chicago in the 60s, this is a great read! (I wonder if the author used St. Mary of The Woods as the inspiration for the motherhouse in Indiana.It seemed identical in many ways.)
