She was smart enough to realize that one day very soon she was sure to be the hunted.It was a long way from a life of luxury, wealth and privilege to the cloistered life of a monastery. To the people here, she was Sister Mary Agnes, the nun who had arrived on the doorsteps of The Sisters of Loretto Motherhouse in Nerinx, Kentucky little more than a year ago. It had almost taken an act of God to get her here-to foolproof papers and documentation so as not to raise suspicion.In her real life, as she often referred to it, she was someone else, living another life by another name.Hiding had been inevitable-at least to her, anyway. She had to protect everything and everyone she loved-and herself.What do you do, she wondered, when you walk headlong into a nightmare? You pick up the pieces and run, she thought to herself. Only the truth was-how long could she stay on the run, even in a convent house?She was surprised to discover a peace here-found in the silence often associated with a convent house as one walked the hallways, reciting the rosary and doing penance, as well as being of service by helping those in need.This was her station in life, as she liked to call it, at least for the moment. Who knew what tomorrow would bring?She was about to learn that you really can't run from the truth because it was often like a game of hide and seek. Sooner or later, someone would find you if you played the game long enough.Truthfully-and there was that word again-she hated running but sometimes it was the best option.Sometimes it was the only option.Little could Sister Mary Agnes have known that her whole world was about to shatter into a thousand pieces because regardless of where one lives, the past often catches up with you when you least expect it. Sometimes the past could be deadly and evil did not mind trespassing on God's most holy ground.
