Blurb:
Orphaned Mary is sent to live with her strict Catholic aunt and uncle on a farm near Kilkenny, where she feels unwelcome. Her rebellious spirit clashes with their rules, and she’s soon sent to a Catholic boarding school. Though she resists the nuns’ authority, Mary finds unexpected allies and a growing connection to her faith. Her path of self-discovery ultimately leads her to embrace a calling to religious life, finding purpose and fulfilment beyond her struggles.
