Spirited And Fun-Loving, From A Good Family, Deeply-Rooted In Catholicism, Jesme Was Drawn To Religious Life At Seventeen After A Retreat At Junior College. As A Nun, Seven Years Later, She Felt Distressed At The Many Ills Growing Inside The Convent And Being Forced To Remain Silent About Them. There Was Corruption, By Way Of Donations For College Seats; Sexual Relations Between Some Priests And Nuns, And Between Nuns; Class Distinctions Whereby The Cheduthies, Or Poorer And Less-Educated Sisters, Did Menial Jobs; And A Wide Gap Between Comforts And Facilities Enjoyed By The Priests And Nuns.
