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
