    Rose Philippine Duchesne grows from a young girl in pre-Revolutionary France, inspired by a missionary priest's tales, into a professed sister of the Society of the Sacred Heart. She crosses a dangerous ocean and endures poverty, illness, and hardship on the American frontier. Set against the French Revolution, the series states plainly that the uprising will see the king and queen killed and tens of thousands executed. Soldiers kick open the monastery doors, drag the elderly superior to her feet, and wrench Philippine's arm until she cries out, as the sisters scream. A priest anoints a dying man, and the nuns later find their chapel desecrated.
    In the New World, the sisters witness a slave auction where men, women, and children are sold, and hear of the Potawatomi "Trail of Death," in which over nine hundred people were forcibly removed and more than forty died, most of them children. The voyage brings violent storms, and one cliffhanger leaves an ailing Philippine collapsed in a snowbank as a wolf howls. Along with recurring references to smallpox, illness, and death, these moments of danger and historical cruelty might warrant parental guidance for younger listeners.
