Description
A young girl's life is forever changed when her family is forced to send her away to a convent in 1959. Marie's story is one of unimaginable hardship and abuse, as she is stripped of her identity and subjected to physical, sexual, and mental torment.
For over four years, Marie is trapped in a world of pain and fear, unable to escape or share her suffering with anyone. But when a police investigation launches, she finally finds the courage to reveal the truth about her time in the convent.
This powerful and harrowing memoir is a testament to the enduring strength of the human spirit, and a reminder of the devastating consequences of institutional abuse.
