About the Book

At the age of seventeen, Pauline Grogan enters the convent and seven years later takes her final vows. At age 29, desecrated and bewildered, she finds herself back in the secular world, having to begin life all over again. Beyond the Veil is the sometimes shocking account of how faith survives even it's own worst abuse, but is much more than than that. It is the story of a nun who becomes a wife and mother and then, as happiness seems secure is cast down into the deepest regions of despair. It is the story of anyone who has feared for their own safety, their sanity, and above all the health and well being of their children, will readily understand. It tells of the small but glorious triumphs of love and faith, in the face of insurmountable odds.
About the Author: Pauline is one of 10 children born in NZ into a family immersed in Irish Catholicism. Her ability to re- invent herself continues to inspire NZ audiences. Her 12 years a Catholic nun ended with abuse within the Church. She went on to marry and have four children. Pauline was plunged into the world of disability when her 10 year old child suffered a brain haemorrhage and stroke but it led her to research the impact of Trauma on Siblings and to become an Inspirational keynote Speaker. After 35 years in Education Pauline studied to become a Marriage and Funeral Celebrant often taking ceremonies and celebrations for her ex-students and their families. Her first book, Beyond the Veil" was controversial because it exposed sexual abuse within the Church. Her second book, "A View From Within" tells the story of NZ's longest ever hospital stay patient who lay 44 years in the same ward. He was totally paralysed, without speech and highly intelligent. He inspired Pauline to move forward and as a way to honour him she wrote his story. At age 60 Pauline's life was produced as a One woman Theatre play, called "500 Letters" directed by an ex student. Despite no formal training on the stage, Pauline wrote the script and acted her own life in 56 theatres around NZ to excellent reviews. Pauline has recently launched a new career as a singer song writer. She bases her songs on true stories from her life. She encourages her audiences to participate in the choruses and plans to continue to inspire and encourage people through story and song. In 2010 Pauline was honoured by her local community as "North Shore Woman of the Year." In 2012 Pauline received the Rotary "Paul Harris Fellow" award.
