Rebel Nun

By Audrey Depaolo

The flurry of the sixties is just getting underway. Twenty-one, and filled with the unrealistic ideals of the time I, too, am eager to change the world. My Catholic school education has generated enough guilt and fear of hell to enlighten any therapist. However, mistaking my psychosis to be a calling from God, I set out with the determination of Mother Teresa to embrace a life in stark contrast to my carefree spirit. With teased blond hair, tight mini-skirt, fishnet stockings, and cigarette dangling, I knock on the door of a Manhattan convent. Mistaking me for a lady of the night, the shocked little old nun is even more shocked at my million-dollar question: Where do I apply?

Customer Reviews

Loved it !

This book made me laugh out loud and also brought tears to my eyes! DePaolo is a funny and talented writer who took me on the journey with Sister Mary Audrey through her trying and turbulent years in the convent. This hysterical narrative is enjoyable regardless of your faith. I couldn't put it down.

The funniest book I have read

It is not often I find a book as entertaining as this one is. Being a student of the Catholic School system I was able to relate to this book. It is both funny and at times sad. I hope to see this one as a TV movie of the week. A definate must read for everybody.

Rebel Nun

I felt as if I found Erma Bombeck again! An easy read that runs the gamut of emotions.

Rebel Nun is a stirring great read

I really loved this book and the anecdotal style. The author has a talent that makes it all worthwhile. When I think about the book it makes me want to smile.

Rebel Nun

A wide range of emotions from funny to heart wrenching in a warm personal style. An expose on what the author went through to become a servant of the church.
