Maggie Walsh has entered the convent. Abandoning her dreams to be an actress or a writer, Maggie embraces church teaching that says the convent is the path to perfection. It is 1960. Church reform is a few years away, but when it comes, radical changes unfold swiftly. Maggie embraces that change. Her brother, Jack, who tries at every turn to get Maggie to come to her senses, involves Maggie in civil-rights and anti-war activities - forcing her into conflict with her superiors. Maggie must choose: Will she keep peace in the convent or follow her conscience?

Dean Milo was a phenomenally successful businessman. Along the way, he established a lengthy list of enemies. His fast-track ride to the top came to a violent halt on August 11, 1980, when Milo was found dead in his luxurious Ohio home, shot twice in the head. A blank telegram form lay nearby.  This is the gripping story of the remarkable collaboration between Texas private eye, Bill Dear, and the police detectives of Akron, Ohio, that led to the convictions of the people responsible for the death. It is also a tale of the human weakness, desperation, and overwhelming greed.

Publisher's Summary

This is a true story. It is my story. No one could have possibly created the contents of this book unless the incidents and occurrences were witnessed and lived. I did both. I lived 11 years of hell, and the perpetrators have never admitted to a single fault. To have endured these personal horrors and escaped without apparent mental impairment may well be a miracle in itself.

whiner

So much complaining and comparing herself to others. Professional victim. I kept hoping this book would get better, but it didn't. A real downer.

The other reviewers are right

This is an important story but the narrator is so full of self-pity and recrimination. She whines. The author was unhappy at her Catholic elementary so she allowed herself to be beguiled by two nuns into joining their order at before she turned 14. Her immigrant parents agreed and refused to listen to her older brothers and sisters that an American norm and raised child should at least finish what we now call middle school before joining a convent. Other things, she blames the convent for her weight problem even though she admits she was heavy bf going into convent. It’s all the fault of the convent. Clearly this was a very bad match but some blame goes to the parents who failed to protect her.
