A family fragmented by war
Only time can bring them together
If it does ... Patrick Doyle makes a valiant effort to control emotion as he waves goodbye to his wife and children. Obliged to enlist in a war he doesn't understand and enter a life he cannot comprehend, he joins a long line of inexperienced young men waiting to board the Dublin ferry.
He wakes in Fremantle Hospital, Western Australia, with no recollection of how he got there, his identification tags lost, along with his memory. His life is a blank slate.
For more than a year, Patrick's letters reassure Kathleen that the war will end; he will return. When the letters stop and Patrick is reported missing, Kathleen volunteers to nurse returned injured Irish soldiers, leaving her children in the temporary care of Irene, their grandmother. Sudden illness places Irene in hospital and they are moved to a children's home, and through a Government program, across the world, lost to their parents and separated from each other.
Years pass slowly as each member of the family searches through a trail of misdirection and lies to uncover the truth. Faces, Places and Lies is a story a family that never gives up.
