Ecstatic at her acceptance into a teaching order in the Midwest, she began the period of intense training called 'formation,' learning the virtues prescribed by a 19th-century, male-dominated Church: humility, self-abnegation, and childlike dependence on the will of her superiors. What happens to a normal 14-year-old girl, giggly and interested in boys, who adores her family yet feels compelled to commit herself to a life that will demand that she never visit her parents' home and never look at herself naked in the mirror, even alone in her room? And what leads Mary, 'formed' and 'on mission' to teach in one of the many schools of her order, to make the crucial decision not to take the final vows?

Looking back over the years that led from there to here, the author invites the reader to enter the world of the young woman who made that journey. Privy to the most intimate details, the reader wanders the cloistered halls of the convent and experiences from the inside the workings of cloistered minds and hearts. Mary Wong interviewed forty former nuns about their experience of convent life, interweaving their stories with hers. But this is essentially her own story - a candid, funny, always deeply moving account of her training and adventures and of the beliefs and doubts that persevere.", Hardcover, Ausgabe: 1st, Label: Harcourt, Harcourt, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 1983-03, Studio: Harcourt, Verkaufsrang: 2112788.
