The unforgettable follow-up to USA Today-bestselling author Rachel Wesson's gripping historical novel The Irish Orphan's Secret reveals the devastating heartache of Ireland's Mother and Baby homes.
When a frail elderly woman with tears in her fierce grey-blue eyes whispers find my girl, former detective Caitlin O'Shea can't walk away.
Aileen has spent a lifetime inside Ireland's institutions, declared delusional by every doctor who ever treated her. But Aileen knows the truth: her baby didn't die. She was taken.
In 1963, as a young American president waved to cheering crowds outside a convent wall, a midwife named Christina made a promise she would spend the rest of her life trying to keep. Her story--and Aileen's--will prove more devastating, and more extraordinary, than Caitlin could ever have imagined. A story of breathtaking cruelty, quiet courage, and a love so fierce it survived six decades of silence.
This powerful tribute to stolen children, heartbroken mothers, and the women who refuse to forget them, is based on real events and will captivate fans of Jean Grainger, Rhys Bowen and Ellen Marie Wiseman.
Rated 4.7 stars by Goodreads readers. Book 2 of The Irish Orphans Series. Each book can be read on its own.
