Life as Carola: A Tale of the Renaissance
Carola is the illegitimate daughter of one of the most powerful noblemen in Italy. Yet she and her mother are forced to leave the family castle and wander penniless. They join a band of strolling actors, but opportunity always seems to elude them. Eventually, Carola enters a convent as a novice. But Carola has developed many natural psychic abilities and this leads to a terrible conflict in which she is accused of witchcraft. She becomes the target of vicious fanaticism and only barely manages to elude death.
Life as Carola is a vivid portrayal of the struggle between good and evil and the power of the noble human spirit to conquer that which persecutes it.
