Excerpt from Trials and Persecutions of Miss. Edith O'gorman: Otherwise Sister Teresa De Chantal, of St. Joseph's Convent, Hudson City, N. J
I have also truthfully detailed my own bitter experience, so replete with persecution and sorrow, that it will cause many to exclaim, Is it possible that one woman can have endured such numerous and severe trials? Few indeed, have tasted sorrow like unto mine; and I now bless the Hand that chasteneth, for in no other way could I be cleansed from the dross of Catholic superstition, than by the purifying furnace of tribulation. Through the gate of suffering I have come out of bondage, and entered into the blessed liberty of the children of God. Praise be to His holy name forever This book is my own production, simple and true, and as such, I trust it will meet the approbation of my readers; and may God grant that it may be the means of saving one immortal soul from the Slavery of Romanism and the living tomb of convents! If only one soul should be saved, I shall have accomplished a noble work!

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of the author's experience as a nun in the Roman Catholic Church, detailing the hardships, trauma, and disillusionment she faced within the convent walls. The author, who was born in Ireland in 1842, was drawn to a life of religious devotion from a young age, but her enthusiasm quickly turned to despair as she encountered the harsh reality of convent life. Forced to give up her family, friends, and possessions, she was subjected to years of physical and emotional abuse at the hands of her superiors, all in the name of serving God. This book will appeal to readers interested in the history of religious orders, particularly the lives of women within them, and to those seeking a firsthand account of the human cost of blind obedience and religious extremism. The author's story offers a unique perspective on the inner workings of the Catholic Church and will undoubtedly spark discussions on the role of faith, free will, and the search for truth.
