Fascinating!!!!
I struggled through this memoir. The author converts to Catholicism, seeking the peace of the Heavenly Father after the death of her beloved earthly one. She joins an order of contemplative Carmelite nuns, anticipating a life of quiet simplicity and radical love. Instead, she finds a cult of personality, which leads to a decade of emotional (and eventually physical) abuse. Though I imagine it was cathartic to write, it wasn‘t easy to read. 👇🏻
