The author wrote the book based partly upon the experiences of her friend, Marie Louise Habets of the Sisters of Charity of Jesus and Mary, a Belgian nurse and an ex-nun whom she met while working with refugees in post-war Europe. This inspiring book tells the story of a young Belgian girl, gifted and strong-willed, who became a nun; the story of a life dedicated to the care of the sick, and of her personal struggle to reconcile the demands of her Order with her pride as a nurse. She faced the heart-breaking and terrifying task of nursing the insane; and spent long, arduous years in the Congo. She witnessed the horrors of the Nazi invasion of Belgium, and risked her life aiding escaping British airmen.
