Synopsis A first-person account by author Maria del Carmen Tapia who, as a deeply religious young girl, was drawn into the ranks of Opus Dei, the powerful Catholic organization whose influence both worldwide and within the United States has become much more formidable since the endorsement of both the organization and its program by no less than Pope John Paul himself.

Publisher's Note A former member's exposé of the secret and powerful organization within the Roman Catholic Church.
This "comprehensive account of the inner workings of the women's branch of (the secret and powerful organization) Opus Dei . . . should fascinate sociologists and feminists and contribute to needed self-criticism in the Roman Catholic Church". ("Christian Century").
Industry Reviews "The stuff of great opera." Steinfels
"Tapia has a disturbing story to tell, one of potentially serious concern for the Roman Catholic Church, where Opus Dei has been favored greatly by the current pope. But because she has failed to tell her story well, her heartfelt warnings are not likely to reach those who most need to hear them." Baumann
