Although I did not grow up in an orphanage, I was able to relate to much of her story about their behavior and the teachings of the Catholic church. I had my share of sweet and cruel nuns growing up. Her memoir was well written, funny, sad, entertaining. It is also good to remember those that grew up during the depression. We forget how much we have now, and how "enlightened" our society is in the 21st Century.If you grew up Catholic, or have friends who shared their stories of growing up with nuns, you must read this! I laughed out loud a few times. Even the sad parts brought back memories of how the nuns thought back then, and although these weren't necessarily fond memories, they triggered them.
