Description
Lilly and Ceily Carney's lives are forever changed when their mother is cruelly taken from them in 1950s Dublin. As they face an uncertain future, the girls' determination to escape the harsh realities of the Church and the authorities becomes their only hope for survival. A riot breaks out as Father Flitters and the 'Cruelty' people arrive to take the children into care, but Lilly and Ceily resist, finding unexpected help from Mister Mullins and his daughter Delia. However, events soon lead to tragedy, leaving Lilly alone and vulnerable on the streets. With no safe haven in sight, her future looks increasingly bleak. This heart-wrenching tale of survival and resilience is a powerful exploration of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable hardship.
