description: Jeanne Cordova, author of "My Immaculate Heart" in LESBIAN NUNS: Breaking Silence, takes us once again behind the forbidden convent door for a revealing look at the joys and sorrows of Sisterhood.  This compelling and sometimes shocking autobiography chronicles Cordova's early life as a naive young woman from the Republican suburbs of Southern California.  Sent to the ghettos of Skid Row and Watts by Mother Superior, Cordova runs headlong into the chaos of inner city life, the social unrest of the '60s, disillusionment with religious life and her own burgeoning sexuality.
