Listening on Audible. Hoping to get book from library. Nora and Teresa are headed from Ireland to the USA. Nora is to marry Charlie, whom she is somehow engaged to though she doesn't love. He's from her town and has gone ahead to get things ready. Teresa is the younger sister, the fair-haired child. Prettier, smarter, livelier. Nice start--Catholic Church looms in the background.
Example. Priest/teacher feels up the prettiest girl in school while the other girls are commanded to stare at their texts. Girls report to one another, but not to parents. They are sure the parents would blame them, not the priest.
St. Francis in 1960's. Brother Donald known to rub legs of kids in his class. Kids talked to one another. To my knowledge, no one ever reported him.
