England's most sought-after healer and confidante to Princess Diana and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor tells her extraordinary story for the very first time.
This is the autobiography of a remarkable woman who has sought life's enduring values throughout her extraordinary circumstances, both tragic and wonderful. Crafted in evocative prose, she offers her views on healing, spirituality and love, and shares deeply compelling insight on how the three are eternally intertwined - and most easily found in silence.
Born and raised in rural Ireland, Oonagh Shanley entered a convent at the tender age of sixteen, embarking on a lifelong spiritual quest. For the next twenty years, Oonagh remained a nun, training as a nurse and ministering to the elderly in India. It was here that she came to know Mother Teresa and answered the call to care for young mothers - a pursuit that necessitated leaving her order.
Gaining special papal dispensation, she suddenly found herself in the outside world with nothing but a change of clothes, little money and a tremendous yearning for freedom and discovery.
Following many new and exciting experiences in Paris, she was asked to nurse the ailing Duke of Windsor, whom she cared for until his death. Later, in London, she became Princess Diana's spiritual guide and healer. Oonagh's genuine empathy enabled her to form her own unique perceptions of these royal and complex personalities, which she shares in loving detail.
