Description
June Goulding's memoir tells the story of twelve women's experiences in a home for unmarried mothers, a place where they were subjected to inhumane treatment and forced into hard labour. The young women were denied basic medical treatment, contact with the outside world, and were expected to raise their babies in the convent for three years before they could be given up for adoption.
Shocked by the nuns' cruelty, June risked her job to bring some light into the lives of the frightened young women. Her story is one of hardship, kindness, and hope, and offers a glimpse into a dark period in Ireland's history.
