Sister Teresa - Paperback

by Amy Heebner (Author)

This fictional screenplay was inspired by the life and writings of Saint Teresa of Avila, the great teacher, writer and mystic who lived in Spain during the 16th Century.

There is no historical record of an earthly marriage in Teresas life. Historical record documents an intense correspondence between Teresa and another monastic, St. John of the Cross, but there is no record of any courtship or sexual relationship between them.

Thus, the love story in this script is fiction, a speculation about what might have happened if her circumstances had differed from historical record.
