504    Includes bibliographical references. 
520    "The book is a fictional memoir based on actual events. 
       The inspiration for the book came from hundreds of letters
       and other accounts written by Sisters of Notre Dame de 
       Namur who were living in German-occupied Belgium and Italy
       during World War Two. Turner created a composite character,
       Sister Christina, who is described as an Ohio farm girl, 
       who joined the Sisters of Our Lady of Namur to teach 
       English and agricultural skills to young Catholic girls. 
       Assigned to Belgium in 1939, she worked Nazi-occupied 
       Belgium for the duration of World War Two. She and other 
       Sisters of Our Lady of Namur in the Saint-Hubert Convent 
       quickly learned that living their normal contemplative, 
       disciplined lives was impossible in a country controlled 
       by ruthless Nazis. Soon they were risking their lives by 
       joining forces with the Belgian Resistance to hide 
       refugees, Jews, and downed American pilots. Sister 
       Christina believed her ordeal was over in September of 
       1944 when American troops liberated Saint-Hubert. That 
       hope was crushed when Saint-Hubert was recaptured by the 
       German army during the Battle of the Bulge; forcing the 
       Sisters to revert to their tactics for survival and 
       resistance until liberated for the second time."--Provided
