Description
At just twelve years old, Maureen Sullivan's life took a devastating turn. She confided in her teacher about being physically and sexually abused by her stepfather, but nothing could have prepared her for the punishment that followed.
Within twenty-four hours, Maureen was taken from home and sent to the Magdalene Laundry, where she was subjected to forced labour, stripped of her possessions, and brutally treated by the nuns. Her story is one of unimaginable suffering, yet also of courage and resilience as she fought for freedom and justice.
In "Girl in the Tunnel", Maureen bravely recounts her journey from a violent home to the brutal Magdalene laundry system, shedding light on a dark period in Ireland's history that few know about. This is a powerful and heart-wrenching account of survival and redemption.
