PARK RIDGE, Ill., July 7, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- In the early sixties, Norma L. Bronoski taught English in Munich, a foreign environment in a time of tremendous social change. Over forty years later, this unforgettable experience laid the groundwork for Nuns Don't Dance, her fascinating new book that tells of love of God, love of country, and a man.
Nuns Don't Dance follows the life of a young American postulant who is sent to pre-Wall Germany in 1960 to 1961 by her Wisconsin convent to learn the German language. She is expected to return to take final vows and teach German in the convent's high school after a year in Munich. The various people she meets abroad and her adventures with them form the plot. She initially feels out of place in the foreign environment and her experiences throughout the year bring her intense inner conflict. Gradually she adjusts, her ultimate acceptance of unexpected circumstances leads to a happy ending.
Through Nuns Don't Dance, readers get a good glimpse of one woman's extraordinary foray into a new life and all its trappings. In each page, we laugh and cry, live and love with her as she discovers life's many surprises and ultimate bliss.
