Sister Mary Baruch, O.P.: The Early Years

Born in New York City to a nice Jewish family, Rebecca Feinstein, while a student at Columbia University in the mid-sixties, becomes a Catholic and to the dismay of her family and friends, enters a cloistered monastery in Brooklyn Heights. This is her story of faith and struggle in a strange and wonderful "new world." The Monastery of Our Lady of Hope, the community of Sisters, the Prioresses and priests, and Sr. Mary Baruch herself are completely fictitious, but still a "blessing" to get to know in the enclosure of one's own mind and heart.
