Story
The book is a fictional memoir based on actual events. The inspiration for the book came from hundreds of letters and other accounts written by Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur who were living in German-occupied Belgium and Italy during World War Two. Turner created a composite character, Sister Christina, who is described as an Ohio farm girl who joined the Sisters of Our Lady of Namur to teach English and agricultural skills to young Catholic girls. Assigned to Belgium in 1939, she worked Nazi-occupied Belgium for the duration of World War Two.

A rare and captivating story that all should experience! Dennis Turner's book is one that brings history to life and helps those of us who weren't their understand the fear and dread of occupation. Hate is not the solution to any of our problems but love finds ways to heal.

Using her unique storytelling skills, Christie accuratly documented the descent in maddness of the guilty as they await their fate foretold by the nursery rythm. Brilliant!
