Sixth-grader Mary Clare already knows that she wants to be a nun. The personal and political intersect for her as the Vietnam War, women's liberation, and the civil rights movement alternately test and sharpen her faith. With an authentic-sounding writing style, the narrative brings 1967 to life and still manages to resonate today.
