The year was 1960 and Dana Zimmer is about to graduate from high school in the suburbs of a Midwest City. A typical teenager, she loves clothes, parties, dancing and boys, pretty much in that order. The furthest thing from her mind is the idea that she might have a vocation to the religious life as a nun.But, then something extraordinary happens that would change her life forever. A simple letter from a nun she had in grade school suddenly turns her entire world upside down. Has God chosen her to become a member of a religious Order? She feels pulled into a life she never would have chosen or dreamed of. She is being carried on a wave she can't control and one that threatens to totally consume her. She enters the Order even though she has lingering doubts about her vocation.She finds herself in a world where every aspect of life is subject to the strict observance of rules and unquestioning obedience. She and her classmates will undergo rigorous training and testing to ultimately take their vows as professed religious. They will also receive exhaustive education to become classroom teachers. For a fun-loving teenager, it was like being sealed in a grave.Dana will have to weather both the rigors of convent life and the tumultuous changes taking place in the turbulent 1960s, both in society and the Church. Her doubts continue to consume her until two tragedies rock her world and allow her to see clearly for the first time in her life. She is finally able to come face to face with her own truth.
