This is a story of survival. It is a story of hope. Niamh was raped
inside a wardrobe by the father of a school friend when she was
just nine-years-old. An Irish catholic, growing up in Dublin, the
nuns called her a Whore of Babylon because she was left-handed. And
so began a life of abuse. Niamh is a woman who copes, who gets on
with things and who knows how to rise above her past - that is
until it resurfaces and becomes an obstacle to the happiness she
knows she deserves. Singing saved her life and her sanity. It was
her escape from hurt and travesty. Running from her past, Niamh
travelled to London, Greece and to the Netherlands, where she found
love and a Dutch husband. But it was not until she hit her fiftieth
birthday, divorced and living alone with her daughter, that she
took her first steps on the road to freedom. This memoir shows how
a remarkable woman learned to search for the hero inside herself
and began to sing from the rooftops about the joy that can be found
in the darkest of times. The author lives in The Hague and is
actively involved in both local and expatriate communities.
"Courageous in the extreme, Niamh Ni Bhroin takes us on a personal
journey that traverses the horrors of the past and the loving
embrace of today. Magnificent." Kieron Connolly, novelist
