She made her choice at 14. Must it be a life sentence?

Marion Dante always knew she would be a nun. She was born in answer to prayer and she was her mother's "sin offering". Conceived out of wedlock, her mother promised God that she would offer her back to Him.

So at the age of 14, enclosed and indoctrinated, she started her training. Now, 30 years later, she finds herself wrestling with doubts and misery. Shunned by many of the nuns who have been her only family for her whole adult life, she begins the process that will free her.

But freedom is a terrifying prospect. Everyday things we take for granted are all mountains to climb.

In this gripping, honest book, Marion bares her soul. She also opens the door to the convent and invites us in.
