Summary:
A daughter'
s
search for her mother'
s
hidden past reveals long-kept secrets and lies that change both their lives forever. Born out of wedlock in Dublin in 1937, Phyllis grew up in a brutal, church-run orphanage. She thought by fulfilling her dream to become a nurse in England, her life might change for the better. But her loveless childhood predisposed a loveless marriage. Her feelings of being worthless, instilled by the orphanage, perpetuated a series of poor choices and things spiralled out of control for her - and, shockingly, for her daughter, Sally. As her mother'
s
health deteriorated, Sally began looking for answers to why it seemed inevitable that their lives would go so spectacularly wrong. She asked questions about the true identity of her mother: 'Who was she? Why was she abandoned? I needed to find answers before it was too late.' After a mission that lasted nearly a decade, searching archives and contacting countless organizations and anyone who would listen, Sally finally uncovered the truth and opened the door to a world so many of us take for granted."--From publisher.
