Summoned
to a convent, Dr. Martha Livingstone, a court-appointed psychiatrist, is
charged with accessing the sanity of a novice nun accused of murdering her
newborn baby. Miriam Ruth, the Mother Superior, determinedly keeps young Agnes
from the doctor, arousing Livingstone's suspicions further. Who killed the
infant and who fathered the tiny victim? Livingstone's questions force all
three women to re-examine the meaning of faith and the power of love leading to
a dramatic, compelling climax.
