Handlung
Ein junges Mädchen macht ihre ersten Erfahrungen mit der Liebe – in ihrem Fall zu Gott. Sie wird von ihrer Mutter im ländlichen Tennessee Mitte der 1950er-Jahre nicht sonderlich religiös erzogen. Mithilfe eines Stipendiums kann Cathleen auf eine katholische Schule gehen und wird dort von dem geheimnisvollen und romantischen Gedanken, ihr Leben Gott zu weihen, angezogen. Als aus der Postulantin langsam eine Novizin wird, muss sie sich oft der herben und unmenschlichen Realität, eine Dienerin Gottes zu sein, stellen, wobei Ihr Glaube oft auf die Probe gestellt wird. Zu Beginn des zweiten Vatikanischen Konzils ringt Cathleen mit ihrem Glauben an Gott, Fragen zur Sexualität und radikalen Veränderungen in der Kirche, die das Leben der Nonnen beeinflussen könnten.
