Stripped of their clothes and forced into gruelling work whilst pregnant, those who survived childbirth were made to force-feed their children for adoption into wealthy families. Babies were ripped out of their mothers' hands, but Mary refused to let that happen to her. She managed to escape only to later lose her beautiful daughter to social services and the meddling nuns....

Narrated and written so beautifully, this story will make your heart ache for all the women before you who were mistreated in Ireland. The author didn’t leave out one harrowing detail of her life’s ups and downs, a rare thing for women of this time or victims of this nature, who are often too pained to recall their own experiences and lost children. Creighton puts it best when she says true Irish protocol is to “sweep under the rug,” and she drags this (once inaccessible) information up for discussion, as should have been done all along.
