In 1920, a young woman ran away from a Catholic convent and into the arms of the Protestant church across town. When she was discovered missing, the Catholic church reported her missing to police, and they went looking for her.
What would come is a series of events that seem outlandish and stupid in the 21st Century. Declared insane for rebuffing a return to the Catholic convent, police chased her to Sydney from Wagga Wagga, and had her put on trial.
Join Holly and Matthew as they look into the story of Brigid Partridge/Sister Mary Liguori, and her brush with fame, kidnapping and insanity.
