Synopsis

In this highly personal account of an ex-nun’s transition from a cloistered, disciplined life, to a life in the world, confronting her human feelings and making her own decisions, Karen Armstrong discusses frankly and with humor her process of coping with the shifting values and lifestyles of the secular world. It is a revealing account of her discovery that the spiritual vocation can be an ever-changing journey into life. She is author of Beginning the World (St. Martin’s Press 1983) and Through the Narrow Gate (St. Martin’s Press).
