The Martyrs of Compiègne — sixteen Carmelite sisters — give their lives for God and for the conversion of France. Stripped of their monastery, their habits, and finally their freedom, they refuse to abandon their vows or their life of prayer, offering themselves as an act of intercession for their country and the Church.
This series contains moments of extreme fear and intensity. It is set during the Reign of Terror, and revolutionary soldiers force their way into the monastery to seize its goods before the sisters are arrested and imprisoned. There are references to the wider violence of the Revolution, including the executions of Queen Marie-Antoinette and, at the end, of Robespierre. The most intense event is the climax, when the sixteen sisters are condemned as "enemies of the people" and go to the guillotine, singing as they die.

Rose Philippine Duchesne grows from a young girl in pre-Revolutionary France, inspired by a missionary priest's tales, into a professed sister of the Society of the Sacred Heart. She crosses a dangerous ocean and endures poverty, illness, and hardship on the American frontier. Set against the French Revolution, the series states plainly that the uprising will see the king and queen killed and tens of thousands executed. Soldiers kick open the monastery doors, drag the elderly superior to her feet, and wrench Philippine's arm until she cries out, as the sisters scream. A priest anoints a dying man, and the nuns later find their chapel desecrated.
In the New World, the sisters witness a slave auction where men, women, and children are sold, and hear of the Potawatomi "Trail of Death," in which over nine hundred people were forcibly removed and more than forty died, most of them children. The voyage brings violent storms, and one cliffhanger leaves an ailing Philippine collapsed in a snowbank as a wolf howls. Along with recurring references to smallpox, illness, and death, these moments of danger and historical cruelty might warrant parental guidance for younger listeners.
