LITTLE SISTER

In this audiobook memoir, Chadwick describes her childhood growing up in the cultlike ultrareligious Catholic community in Massachusetts that called itself the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Narrator Rebecca Soler shares her vocal skills as she voices Father Feeney and Sister Catherine, the charismatic duo who talked Harvard and Radcliffe graduates and their families into leaving the world and living in this community of half-truths, and brutality. In classic abusive maneuvers, rewards and punishments were designed to break their spirits and make them submit to Sister Catherine's road to salvation. Soler is especially skilled as she immerses herself in Patricia's emotions. Listeners will hear her confusion as a child, her angst as a teenager, and her dawning realization of where true evil lived. E.E.S. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2021]
