A beautiful, cozy little book.

"The worst was yet to come, he knew. Already he could feel a world of trouble waiting for him behind the next door, but the worst that could have happened was also already behind him; the thing not done, which could have been- which he would have had to live with for the rest of his life."

Short but profound. This story distills the cost of doing what’s right into a simple yet powerful narrative. While centered on the Magdalen laundries of 20th-century Ireland, it resonates far beyond that time and place, speaking to moral crises in any generation or culture, where courage is needed to stand against a powerful state. Ultimately, it’s an inspiring reminder of how personal sacrifice, though costly, can alter the course of another’s life.
