Raised in a Wiccan family, Nora Jensen grew up with an extremely cynical attitude towards Christianity.
However, when she became a young adult, she began to have some deeply unsettling experiences with Wiccan and New Age practices, and started to distance herself from them. She began dating a Catholic, and was invited to Mass, which she expected to hate.
Her experience there surprised her, and she began a journey of exploring the Catholic Church on its own terms.
