Six Months In A Convent: Or The Narrative Of Rebecca Theresa Reed is a memoir written by Rebecca Theresa Reed in 1835. The book details her experience of being falsely imprisoned in a convent for six months in the early 19th century. Reed was a Protestant woman living in Boston when she was approached by a Catholic priest who convinced her to convert to Catholicism. After her conversion, Reed was sent to a convent in Charlestown, Massachusetts, where she was forced to take vows and become a nun. However, she soon realized that she had been deceived and that she was being held against her will. With the help of her family and friends, Reed was finally able to leave the convent and return to her former life. The book is a powerful account of the dangers of religious coercion and the importance of individual freedom. It was widely read in its time and helped to shed light on the practices of Catholic convents in America.Who Was Under The Influence Of The Roman Catholics About Two Years, And An Inmate Of The Ursuline Convent On Mount Benedict, Charlestown, Massachusetts, Nearly Six Months, In The Years 1831-1832.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
