Description

The House Children A Novel by Heidi Daniele is based on actual events and tells the story of Peg, a young girl born in 1937 to an unwed mother. After spending her early years in a foster home, Peg is sentenced to an industrial school where she is forced into a rigid routine of prayer, work, and silence. Peg's only respite is an annual summer holiday with a kind family in Galway, but even this brings its own set of challenges as she struggles to come to terms with her past. When Peg accidentally learns the identity of her birthmother, tensions between them mount, leading to a complex exploration of familial love, shame, and secrets. Based on real events, The House Children is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that sheds light on life inside Ireland's infamous industrial schools.
