Half amusing, half serious, "The Mystical Ticket Booth" is a true account of a girl who meant to be an actress but turned out a nun -- for a time. Enjoy the irretrievable America of her youth in the forties and fifties, her impossible mother, and a trip through the cloister more reminiscent of "Please Don't Eat the Daisies" than "I Leapt Over the Wall." If you're ready for Laughter, some insight into life in a French/American convent and the effects of aggiornamento, this memoir is the book for you.
