During the war the well known German Dominican, Franziskus Stratmann, was hunted by the Nazis but succeeded in hiding in a Flemish Convent a convent of the Order of Bethany whose special work is to reclaim, by love and charity, women who because of their sins are branded social outcasts. The Christ-like attitude to those who have strayed inspired Father Stratmann to write this absorbing and moving book, which considers the spiritual implications of the Sister' work and its lesson for the rest of the world. First published in Flemish and later in German this translation is made by Hilda Graef.
