The year is 1570, and in the convent of Santa Caterina in the Italian city of Ferrara, noblewomen find space to pursue their lives under God's protection. When Serafina, the 16-year-old daughter of a noble family in Milan, is brought into the convent by force, this smoothly run community begins to suffer to its core. As Serafina rails against her incarceration, others are drawn into the drama and the reformation begins to impose on the nunneries. From the author of Birth of Venus comes this engrossing story of friendship and the enduring spirit. This is a ticketed event. A free ticket is available with purchase of Sacred Hearts.
