The Story of Aurora's Rebellion

There's some speculation that Aurora's mother Sophie may have supported herself with sex work when she was a teenager after her parents had both died. And it seems that grandmother chose this moment to tell Aurora about her mother's alleged profession in the midst of this rebellion presumably as a way to try to shame or scare her into obedience. At the age of 13, she was sent to a convent in Paris to live with the English Augustinian sisters and shifting from country life to being immersed wholly in a religious environment in the city had a very profound effect on the teenager.
