The Crack in The Halo follows the harsh journey of ten young Irish women who entered a religious institution in Ireland in 1966 to prepare themselves for a life of dedication and service.

Their experience of life in the convent proved to be challenging from the beginning, as they faced bullying and discrimination perpetuated by an authoritarian and dictatorial system of governing there. Several of them developed ways to cope despite the hardship. Others were not so lucky. One found herself on a road to experiences she had never imagined.

The nun in charge of the ten postulants put them through a daily crucible of cruelty, invoking severe punishment for the smallest perceived infraction. Only the strongest emerged intact after their grueling time in this unhealthy environment.

This story is one that reverences the memory of so many nuns who went to their graves as victims of abuse.
