The horrors of the Irish industrial schools is made very plain in this autobiographical account of the author. She and her sister were taken out of their home when she was only eight years of age and forced to endure extreme hardships - apparently because her mother was not married. This took place in the 1950's and early 1960's. A must-read reality check for baby boomers.
