Set apart from us in their regimented communities, by their singular dedication. Different, fascinating, their lives intrigue us all. In these unique and compelling revelations, both ex-nuns and present nuns unlock the most secret doors in their closed and mysterious communities. Under rigidly enforced rules of behavior, where women's lives are consecrated and subjugated to the most sacred of vows, where ''particular friendships'' are ruthlessly eradicated under pain of sin and expulsion, still the power of love manages to emerge and survive. Each nun in these stories describes the individual and searing path she has journeyed to discover and face and experience the truth of herself: that she is a Lesbian Nun.
