Description
In 1950, a secret affair in rural Ireland sets off a chain of events that would change the life of Marie Therese forever. Born out of wedlock and forced to leave her village as a child, she grows up in the harsh conditions of Nazareth House Orphanage, where she faces cruel treatment at the hands of the nuns. Despite the trauma she endures, Marie Therese finds ways to cope and eventually gains the confidence to pursue a nursing career. But when she discovers that her mother's identity is shrouded in mystery, she sets out on a journey to uncover the truth about her past. This powerful story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring need we all have to discover who we really are. The experiences of Marie Therese are now part of the historical record, with institutions like Nazareth House under investigation by the Historical Abuse Inquiry.
