Though she denies having been with a man the facts confirm that her vows as a nun were violated and that she may have lied. Bound by the promise of <I>trust faith</I> and <I>truth</I> the three shared Barbara and Margo had believed Lucia. Now they must ask themselves if their faith was unwarranted. Or could Lucia be telling the truth?
