Author: Yoon Song-i

    When Teresa was young, she wanted to become a martyr at the hands of the moors. However, as she grew, she started to care more about parties and fancy dresses than the faith.

Follow Teresa through her journey through nunhood, and discover how she deals with challenges and encourages fellow sisters.
