I think that I worked with Ms. Yavarone back in the 70’sin Trenton NJ. I remember her as being energetic, funny and great to work with. She was always smiling and very happy. Fond memories. Hope she contacts me:

I wish Ms. Betts had read DOUBLE CROSSED by New York Times religion editor, George Brooks. For me, that book was more like most of our experience. In my opinion, Ms. Hepburns portrayal of this transition time in THE NUN’S STORY was much more accurate in the portrayal of the spiritual journey which leads one to exit sisterhood.
