V klášteře - Zpověď bývalé karmelitánské mnišky – Coldstream Catherine (2024)

Discover the evocative narrative of Catherine Coldstream about the life of a nun in the 1990s and the dramatic events that led to her escape from the convent. After the shock of her father's death, twenty-four-year-old Catherine remains grieving and lonely. Her search for the meaning of life leads her to Roman Catholicism and the nuns of the Akenside priory. There, she finds a close-knit community of women devoted to God and peace in an ancient way of life. However, just as she is about to take her eternal vows, she discovers that not everything behind the closed doors of the priory is as it seems. A power struggle begins that will have far-reaching consequences for everyone inside the convent. Catherine realizes that divine authority is mediated through fallible and all-too-human channels. She faces a dilemma: should she protect the peace she has found, or speak out? A confession of love for a lost community and a heartfelt account of her twelve years in the order serves as a cautionary tale about what can happen when good people are cut off from the outside world.
