The book is about a young actress who is very successful in her Hollywood days in the 1960's but feels that she needs to be somewhere else with her life and endeavors. Eventually she leaves acting and Hollywood for an enclosed cloistered Monastery life and stays there for 50 years, becoming a Mother Prioress. It was well written by Mother Dolores Hart with the aid of a professional writer and takes on the journey that was her interesting and unusual life.

I was really surprised and fascinated by Miss Hart´s recollections of her family and upbringing. Nothing could be father removed from her later life as a nun. I also enjoyed how her story unfolds in this book. It is very original to have her biographer tell the story while she writes her own comments after each paragraph. It gives you quite an insight into the life of a beautiful young actress who walked out of Hollywood glamour in order to follow the Lord. I sincerely recommend this book to all the young people of today who have grown brainwashed by celebrity obsession.

A good read for everyone, Catholic or non-Catholic. I am so impressed with this holy woman who gave up all, in the spotlight, to follow Jesus in this way.
