Author: Irene Kelly

I brought this book home from Kathryn’s one trip but I think I may have given it to her as a gift at one time.

It is a powerful testimony, written by a ghost writer, about how the lives of an entire generation were changed forever from the abuse the mother suffered both in her home and in an Irish orphanage. The story is told from the point of view of three members of the family – the mother, her second husband, and their daughter. But the entire family was affected.

I couldn’t help but think of the stories that came out of the Residential Schools in Canada. It wasn’t an easy book to read solely because of the topic.
