For the last five years, 42-year old Kay Toogood has been struggling with the most agonizing decision of her life: should she follow her growing conviction to answer a call to join an enclosed, silent order of nuns? She has avoided making this decision because, as an only child, she feels an overwhelming sense of guilt over leaving her two elderly parents alone. Her parents are very bitter about her decision to enter the convent. Others around Toogood find her decision confusing -- why would a career-minded woman give up life in the outside world for a new life of silence, poverty and obedience? The BBC's Cathie Mahoney is producer.
