Six Months In A Convent: Or The Narrative Of Rebecca Theresa Reed is a memoir written by Rebecca Theresa Reed in 1835. The book details her experience of being falsely imprisoned in a convent for six months in the early 19th century. Reed was a Protestant woman living in Boston when she was approached by a Catholic priest who convinced her to convert to Catholicism. After her conversion, Reed was sent to a convent in Charlestown, Massachusetts, where she was forced to take vows and become a nun. However, she soon realized that she had been deceived and that she was being held against her will. With the help of her family and friends, Reed was finally able to leave the convent and return to her former life. The book is a powerful account of the dangers of religious coercion and the importance of individual freedom.
