However, Mary soon discovers that life in the convent is far from what she expected. She is subjected to harsh treatment and abuse from the nuns, who are portrayed as cruel and hypocritical. As Mary struggles to adapt to her new life, she begins to question her faith and the teachings of the church. She also develops a romantic relationship with a young man named Frank, who helps her to see the world outside of the convent walls. However, their relationship is forbidden and they must keep it a secret.Throughout the novel, Hallock explores themes of religion, gender roles, and social norms. She also critiques the Catholic Church and its treatment of women, particularly those who choose to become nuns.
