Book Synopsis

Sister Molly Cleary, a tough, no-nonsense nun from a poor, southside Chicago Irish-Catholic family, understands women's struggles all too well. Faced with a choice between motherhood and the convent, she chooses religious life but never forgets that her own mother died in childbirth after too many pregnancies, leaving nine-year-old Molly and her six siblings motherless.

As Vatican II and the women's liberation movement blow gale-force winds of change through the Catholic Church and wider society, Sister Molly awakens to a stark reality: without control over their reproductive choices, women are powerless to control any aspect of their lives. She realizes the Catholic doctrines prohibiting birth control, reproductive freedom, and divorce are morally outrageous, endangering countless lives.
