A raw, heart-breaking yet ultimately uplifting novel about a young woman cut down in her prime, and of the woman who brings her back to life.

Top 10 Kindle best seller

1939. Seventeen-year-old Nora Jennings has spent her life secure in the certainty of a bright, happy future - until one night of passion has more catastrophic consequences than she ever could have anticipated. Labelled a moral defective and sectioned under the Mental Deficiency Act, she is forced to endure years of unspeakable cruelty at the hands of those who are supposed to care for her.

1981. When psychiatrist Janet Humphreys comes across Nora, heavily institutionalised and still living in the hospital more than 40 years after her incarceration, she knows that she must be the one to help Nora rediscover what it is to live. But as she works to help Nora overcome her past, Janet realises she must finally face her own.

Based on a true story, The Girl Behind the Gates is the raw, heart-breaking yet ultimately uplifting tale of a young woman cut down in her prime, and of the woman who finally brings her back to life, perfect for fans of The Girl in the Letter and Philomena.

This story brought me to tears more than once. Painful to think of how so much was truthful. Narrator was excellent and brought this brilliantly written book to light life. Highly recommend 😊

It was a good book, excellent voice acting. I was hoping for a happier ending. I'm not a fan of crying, so if the book makes me cry it better have a great ending. the ending was meh, not worth all the tears I cried, in my opinion.

EMOTIONAL FROM START TO FINISH.

This is a very long and very sad story. I found myself praying for Nora and Angela.

YET, ANOTHER GREAT AUTHOR!

This was a well done and inspiring story, but atrocious to hear how unwed mothers were treated.

Interesting and disturbing

It wasn't too long ago when unwed pregnant teens were sent away to have their babies in unwed homes for mothers. This is the story of one such young girl who went to have her baby in the 30s but stayed in the home for over forty years. The story tells about her journey from life in captivity to going out into the real world.

The story is pretty heart wrenching at times but it's also long winded and gets rather repetitive and boring. It's worth the listen though, despite it's shortcomings.

-Wendi

Good story, but a little slow and boring

Very difficult subject matter. Written and performed brilliantly. Explores the depths of human cruelty and human resilience.

Bravo
