First Edition, Later Printing "Soledad did not know that she was beautiful. Nor, for that matter, did anyone else. It would have been difficult indeed, even for eyes trained in such matters, to pierce the forbidding exterior which the convent school of Santa Brigida imposed upon its wards. The children who attended Santa Brigida were orphans, supported by charity. Their training was attuned to that simple fact. Since no easy path was likely to await them on stepping out into the world, it would have been folly to teach them the ways of vanity" [Opening lines of the book].
