The Real-Life Fairy Tale of a Lesbian Nun – Part 1
In this 3-part series, host Helen McConnell interviews and taps with author and former Catholic nun, Orice Klaas.
As a young girl, Orice dreamed of becoming a nun. At age 15, her dream came true and she joined the convent. But things weren’t quite the fairy tale she’d imagined as she moved into her new life.
Orice is the author of “Once Upon a Convent – A Memoir of a Lesbian Nun,” the true story of her own life. During her 19 years as a nun, she began to discover her true nature. Amongst other things, she fell in love with a woman and “came out” as a lesbian. She later left the convent and the church. During this intimate conversation, Orice & I talk about her book and tap about the emotions of her life events.
