About the book
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 Jesme's unbroken spirit and faith in Jesus and the Church, living like a nun but outside the Four walls of the Convent. This book, a first of its kind in India, is an outpouring of her experiences as a nun for thirty three years.
