An eighteen-year-old-girl who has never danced--and this in the 1960s. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e It is in Cambridge, Massachusetts where Leonard Feeney, a controversial (soon to be excommunicated) Catholic priest, has founded a religious community called the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The Center's members--many of them educated at Harvard and Radcliffe--surrender all earthly possessions and aspects of their life, including their children, to him. Patricia Chadwick was one of those children, and \u003ci\u003eLittle Sister \u003c\/i\u003eis her account of growing up in the Feeney sect. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Separated from her parents and forbidden to speak to them, Patricia bristles against the community's draconian rules, yearning for another life. When, at seventeen, she is banished from the Center, her home, she faces the world alone, without skills, family, or money but empowered with faith and a fierce determination to succeed on her own, which she does, rising eventually to the upper echelons of the world of finance and investing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A tale of resilience and grace, \u003ci\u003eLittle Sister \u003c\/i\u003echronicles, in riveting prose, a surreal childhood and does so without rancor or self-pity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Post Hill Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781642933550\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 1.00d","brand":"Patricia Walsh Chadwick","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36664306598044,"sku":"9781642933550","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_fdd7f7db-690d-4229-bdad-2b514d938937.jpg?v=1603906308","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/little-sister-a-memoir-9781642933550","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
