Becoming A Nun In The Age Of Aquarius

It all began with the notice of a reunion on what would have been the fiftieth anniversary of entering the convent at the age of seventeen. Would I be interested? I wouldn't miss it! I was bombarded with memories I didn't realize were still in storage after all this time, details about what we were taught, the things we did, and how we did them. Friends wondered how it was that we all came together in the first place and now, after all this time, had the opportunity to reunite. Repeatedly I heard, "you have to write a book about what daily life was like-details, I want details." To my amazement, when I asked how many of our group were still sisters, the answer was met with one four-letter word, "none." Now besides detailing daily life, I had a question to answer. What happened to cause not just a few, but everyone in our group to return to secular life?
