« Makes clerics squirm-and readers think. »-Carolyn Catesby, Habits and Other Hazards- Habits and Other Hazards is the true story of five young girls-one of them the author-recruited as children, before they were capable of informed consent, into a closed order of Catholic nuns. Removed from home and immersed in a rigid, hierarchical system, they were trained for obedience, silence, and sacrifice long before they were old enough to understand the cost.

Description

« Makes clerics squirm-and readers think. »-Carolyn Catesby, Habits and Other Hazards- Habits and Other Hazards is the true story of five young girls-one of them the author-recruited as children, before they were capable of informed consent, into a closed order of Catholic nuns. Removed from home and immersed in a rigid, hierarchical system, they were trained for obedience, silence, and sacrifice long before they were old enough to understand the cost. Unlike many memoirs written by nuns or former nuns-accounts that drift toward ideology, explanation, or spiritual spin-this book reads less like a sermon and more like a darkly ironic coming-of-age story. Think The Wizard of Oz-a girl swept away from home into a strange new world with strict rules and mysterious gatekeepers-colliding with One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, where powerful authority figures define integrity, sanity, and which emotions require correction…with no appeal process. This is not a book about faith lost or found. It’s about power-how it works, how it disguises itself, and how these girls survived without even knowing survival is what they’re doing. Written with clarity, restraint, and dark humor, Habits and Other Hazards is both a personal history, a cultural document, and an insider’s account of life inside a closed religious system. It is meticulous without being academic, unsentimental without being cruel, and deeply human throughout.
