To support their good work, tredition donates a portion of the proceeds from each sold copy.

Even though historians all agree that Maria Monk's claims are false, the book is still interesting to read. Maria Monk may have been a 19th century nun who had several sexual liaisons, while in the convent. She or a ghostwriter wrote Awful Disclosures about these experiences. Awful Disclosures of Maria Monk, or, The Hidden Secrets of a Nun's Life in a Convent Exposed was published in 1836. She claimed that Sisters of Charity of a Montreal convent were forced to have sex with the priests from the seminary next door. She said there was a secret tunnel connecting the two. If a baby resulted, it was baptized and then strangled and put in a lime pit in the basement.

I cannot banish the scenes and characters of this book from my memory. To me it can never appear like an amusing fable, or lose its interest and importance. The story is one which is continually before me, and must return fresh to my mind with painful emotions as long as I live. With time, and christian instruction, and the sympathy and examples of the wise and good, I hope to learn submissively to bear whatever trials are appointed for me, and to improve under them all.
