Author’s Note

Author’s NoteGirls are usually accepted into a Convent at the age of eighteen.
A girl first becomes a Postulant for nine months, then a novice for two years and it is then, if they still feel that they have heard ‘The Call’, they take their final vows at a mystical Religious Ceremony.
Vowing to forsake all others, they become a ‘Bride of Christ’ and are given a gold Wedding ring often shaped like a crucifix.
Once they have taken their vows they rarely leave the Order that they have committed themselves to.
But a few who have done so have married, had children and written a book about their experiences.
