The author chooses to tell her story in the form of a semi-fictional narrative, although it's not too difficult to find some of the stories she tells in old news accounts. The story is a conglomerate of events, but protects the personal identity of the person who's written it, and prevents "naming names."
I enjoyed the book. It's one of two, written by the same author. The subject is a popular genre--the sister who left. It's not particularly negative in the sense of being vengeful or biting or political. For the most part, it harmonizes well with other accounts of the same time frame and subject. It's believable, and probably a fairly accurate portrayal of Catholic religious life in the mid-20th century, as written by someone who finally decided to leave and do something else with their life.
The Sister Formation Conference, in its essence, reception and consequences is covered well in this book. This book is interesting for its very good portrayal of common practices and daily routines, as they changed in the latter half of the 20th century.
