lieutenant nun

I personally really liked this reading; it was easy and super intriguing. When I was reading I was thinking about how in present day it’s really hard for transvestites to be accepted and understood, I can only imagine the reaction people had when they learned that their dear lieutenant was really female. I really wish we had a better idea of how the lieutenant nun was really like. Maybe someone who had serves with her in the military or someone who had employed her could give us description of his/her character. I wish we had also learned what became of her in her later years. I think something that stood out a lot to me was that regardless of where she was, when she found herself in a difficult situation she turned to the church for support and the church always offered a safe haven. Even at those times when they knew that she/ he was guilty of the crime they were charged with.
