Nuns Don't Dance (Hardcover)

A young American postulant is sent to pre-Wall Germany in 1960-61 by her Wisconsin convent to learn the German language. She is expected to return to take final vows and teach German in the convent's high school after a year in Munich. The various people she meets abroad and her adventures with them form the plot. At first she feels out of place in the foreign environment. Experiences throughout the year bring to her intense inner conflict but she gradually adjusts. Her ultimate acceptance of unexpected circumstances leads to a happy ending.
