title: The Poor Nuns in Revolt
author: Waterman, C.P.
description: After Mary and David have made themselves at home in the deserted house they came across in A Poor Nun's Endowment, Mary is visited by an old friend from the priory where she had stayed. All is not well with the community, after the visit of the Great Pestilence (the Black Death); the evil Benedicta has seized control and is now Mother Prioress. Mary agrees to return to the priory for a week to see if she can influence Benedicta into easing the poor nuns into a gentler Rule. But she hasn't reckoned for the priest, who has some deviant sexual habits and attempts to blackmail Mary into performing sexual acts to gratify his cravings once he discovers the unique endowment in her anatomy. What strange hold does he have on Benedicta? What can Mary achieve to bring about a happier way of life for the good nuns in the short time she has available?
