As an Irish woman born after the closures of 'mother and baby homes', my knowledge of the depths of these establishments was severely lacking.

This is such an eye-opening book, unflinching in it's honesty of how the Catholic Church and the State treated women and their children. 

Please read it. The truth can no longer continue to be swept under the rug, buried in septic tanks or unmarked mass graves.
