Description: "Marion Dante always knew, that as her mother's 'sin offering', she would be a nun. At the age of fourteen, she entered a convent. Years later, wrestling with doubts and misery, she embarked on the long and terrifying road to freedom. Like a caged bird she clung to her prison bars. Wearing a short skirt, ordering a cup of tea in a cafe, everyday conversation with a stranger, were mountains to climb. More frighteningly, if she dropped the habit, who then would she be? What would remain of Marion Dante if she broke out of her protective shell?"--Page 4 of cover.
Notes: "Complete and unabridged."
