The Sunday Times and Irish Times bestseller, as featured in the
Sunday Independent 'You're all fallen women. You've sowed the seed
of Satan. You are nothing.' Mary Creighton was just 15 when she
found herself pregnant out of wedlock, in 1960s Ireland. She
dreamed of a happy life with her child, but that was shattered when
she was sent away to Castlepollard - a home for mothers and their
unborn babies. Stripped of their clothes and forced into gruelling
work whilst pregnant, those who survived childbirth were made to
force-feed their children for adoption into wealthy families.
Babies were ripped out of their mother's hands, but Mary refused to
let that happen to her. She managed to escape only to later lose
her beautiful daughter to social services and the Sacred Heart
nuns, who always managed to catch up with her. After spending time
in an infamous Magdalene Laundry, and having another two children
snatched away, Mary sought to find her lost children, and demand
answers for the atrocities committed supposedly in God's name. This
is a haunting account of a mother's worst nightmare, as Mary
continues to fight for justice for the mothers who suffered and the
babies of Castlepollard: hundreds of which died and are still
buried in the grounds today.
