Mere Marie-Helene once turned her back on life, sealing up her
heart in order to devote herself to God. Now the formidable Mother
Superior of an Irish convent, she has, for some time, been
experiencing grave doubts about her vocation. But when she meets
Anna Murphy, the youngest-ever boarder, the little girl's solemn,
poetic nature captivates her and she feels 'a storm break in her
hollow heart'. Between them an unspoken allegiance is formed that
will sustain each through the years as the Reverend Mother seeks to
combat her growing spiritual aridity and as Anna develops the
strength to resist the conventional demands of her background.
