Sample Book Insights:#1 I was the black sheep of the community, and I had been warned many times by the Mistress of Novices that I could not race down the staircase like that, taking two and three steps at a time.#2 I was sent to Aigen, Austria, to teach Baron von Trapp’s daughter. I was to leave the world and give up everything, but I did it wholeheartedly.#3 I was bowing farewell to the other three candidates, when I took in with one last glance the picture of the large, oblong room with the six windows, the white-curtained cells along the wall, and the huge, old-fashioned Kachelofen, the European tile stove.#4 I was on the road that led down the hill on which Saint Erentrudis had built her castle of God in the eighth century.
