The greatest impact you had in your life was when God spoke through you. Awesome, terrifying, wondrous… but now gone. Instead, you care for someone God has allowed to retain the gift of speaking with Him. Is this all a test, or has He abandoned you forever?

Since you became a nun, you never again had the visions which were so powerful in your youth. While you have enjoyed monastic life far more than at home, you miss those dreams that for a while seemed to make you special. In fact, your relatively low birth status often makes you feel particularly un-special at the abbey. Perhaps that is why you volunteered to be a chaperone to Margery - Whitwood’s current visionary, but also a woman in need of care from her sisters, from you.

You grew up in a village in Buckinghamshire, the daughter of a fairly successful yeoman farmer. Your mother died when you were young, and your father remarried a woman who took against you immediately and liked you less and less with each child she bore. As the family finances slowly deteriorated, your stepmother grew more bitter and angry, often beating you and locking you in your room at night.
