{"product_id":"9780692368633","title":"Letters from a Convent: A Love Story","description":"1962, 18, LIVING IN A CONVENT\u003cp\u003eWhat was I thinking? What am I doing here? I'm in a convent! Have you ever looked up and seen where you were and what you were doing, as if this were not you?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1962, at the age of 18, I entered the convent of the Sisters of the Divine Savior. Severely restricted as to whom I could write, I secretly composed an extended letter - more of a diary, really - to my best friend Irene. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The lights are out and I'm in the coatroom, writing. I feel like going home - just packing and leaving.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter six intense months, I did. Forty-five years later, I was shocked when Irene sent me the long-forgotten document, a vivid portrait of adolescence in that special time and place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is no expose, no attack on the Catholic Church or its traditions, but an intimate look at life behind the walls of a convent. And, of course there is a boy, Harry - the object of my romantic fantasies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"I have decided - I'm going to be a nun. I have been waiting to see if I would be strong enough. But if I want to, I can. And I know God wants me to - and I want to do His will - and so this is my life. Sorta sad in a way, isn't it?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease join me on my remarkable journey.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HeyJudeArt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47014163448048,"sku":"9780692368633","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780692368633_p0.jpg?v=1763609429","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780692368633","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
