THE INSPIRING, REVEALING STORY OF ONE WOMAN'S YEARS BEHIND CONVENT WALLS AND HER RETURN TO THE WORLD OUTSIDE
In 1925 Mary McCarran joined her sister Margaret in the Convent of the Holy Names. Here is the story of the black-garbed postulant, hopeful and homesick. Here is the nun, tried and proven, exchanging vows for a gold wedding ring.
Sister Mary Mercy made her greatest sacrifice in a small convent room where, after thirty-two years, she exchanged her beloved habit for a new pink dress-and returned to the secular world.
This is Mary McCarran's unforgettable and inspiring story of those three decades as a member of a religious community.
