At the age of five, Mary Jane Masterson's destiny was foretold by a stranger. "That one," said the Brother of Holy Cross, pointing at Mary Jane as he sat comfortably in their living room with her mother, "will be a nun." His prediction, repeated in later years by other friends and acquaintances, became reality when, in 1946 at the age of eighteen, Mary Jane joined the Sisters of St. Joseph and became a "bride of Christ." She adapted quickly to religious life, sharing prayer and living quarters with other nuns, an "elitist group" considered by many in the secular world to have far more than secular access to God's love, a belief encouraged by Vatican I. But as the Second Vatican Council came to a close in 1965, a shift in theology shook Sister Mary Jane to her very core. Had she sacrificed marriage, sex, and children of her own for nothing? Follow Sister Mary Jane on her journey from her calling to the noblest of vocations to her acceptance of how, as a nun, she could affect the world beyond her community and her school.

Like many Catholic girls prior to Vatican II, Mary wanted to be a nun. Ecstatic at her acceptance into a teaching order, she began the period of intense training called "formation," learning the virtues prescribed by a 19th-century, male-dominated Church: humility, self-abnegation, and childlike dependence on the will of her superiors. What happens to a normal 14-year-old girl, giggly and interested in boys, who adores her family yet feels compelled to commit herself to a life that will demand that she never again visit her parents' home? And what leads Mary, "formed" and on mission, to make the decision not to take her final vows? Here, the author invites the reader to enter the world of the young woman who made that journey, to wander the cloistered halls of the convent and experience from the inside the workings of cloistered minds and hearts. Mary Wong interviewed forty former nuns about the experience of convent life, interweaving their stories with hers in a candid, funny, deeply moving account of her training and adventures, and of the beliefs and doubts that persevere.--From publisher description.

Visit the author's website at www.DutchInk.com After leaving her religious order, in October of 1984, Hilaire had two ambitions: to write a realistic book about convent life and to earn a Ph.D. from the University of South Florida. Working full time as a teacher made her realize one of these ambitions would have to wait, so after starting her book, Nun of This and Nun of That, she set it aside for the next eight years until she earned her doctorate. Her novel spans almost ten years of religious life, starting in 1963 when twenty-five young women all enter a convent in Albany, New York. This is a story of all the girls, but particularly three who enter, live, stay-in and leave religious life for various reasons. The author invites the reader into the secret cloisters of convent living, beyond the front parlor, once the only space available to visitors. Every life experience is unique to every woman in religious life, but the adventures and journeys of these three girls reveal the joys, sorrows, trials, tribulations, and triumphs of convent living during and after the Second Vatican Council. Dr. Tavenner calls her book, realistic fiction though most of it is based on true stories. Dr. Tavenner living among her community members for almost twenty years, and even while in the convent began the groundwork and outlines for this book. Many may be incensed or indignant of her portrayal of characters, but for the men and women familiar with convent living, the Church and priesthood of the 1960's, Nun of This and Nun of That is deja vu.

Suddenly I found myself, with my shaven head and dark-brown robe, running down to the traditional Anglican church in the nearby village ... I thought, 'I've got to talk to somebody, I've got to understand what's happening to me.' Esther Baker had been a Buddhist for over thirteen years. Her search for truth drove her up through the ranks of a Buddhist nun and deeper into a life of meditation and detachment from the world. But then, one day, alone in her room, the perfect shadow of a cross fell on her wall, and, unbidden, Christ began to enter her life. Would anything ever be the same again?

A fifteen year old girl enters a convent during the mid-nineteen fifties, when nuns still wear traditional habits and are physically and emotionally removed from the rest of the world. Subjected to rigid programming that includes almost perpetual silence and nearly total social isolation from her fellow community members, the young nun believes that God has called her and stays there for nineteen years. She eventually finds liberation and clarity through an unexpected sexual awakening with another woman. The manner in which she resolves the conflict this causes between her spiritual and human needs leads her to a new future.

Impressionistic and dreamy, a nine-year-old girl immediately feels that she might be called by God when a Catholic missionary speaks to her third grade class at a Catholic school. The idea of this calling embeds itself into her, haunting her through elementary and high school, after which she chooses to enter the convent. Her story follows the five years she spent as an Adrian Dominican nun struggling to balance her desire for a secular life with her great fear of turning her back on God's call. Her stories are sad as well as joyous, inspiring as well as unsettling.
