Amen: The autobiography of a nun

On 31 August 2008, sister Jesme left the congregation of Mother of Carmel. The authorities repeated attempts to have her declared insane, she says, left her no other option. This book, a first of its kind in India, is an outpouring of her experiences as a nun for thirty three years.

Searing, sincere and sensitive, Amen is a plea for a reformation of the church and comes at a time of its growing concern about nuns and priests. It affirms Jesmes unbroken spirit and faith in Jesus and the Church, living like a nun but outside the Four Walls of the Convent.
