About this audiobook
'Nobody wants you, so we have to put up with you. We'll soon knock the disobedience out of you...'
Frances Reilly and her sisters were abandoned by their mother outside Nazareth House Convent - a Belfast orphanage run by nuns. Little did they know the unimaginable cruelty they'd endure within its walls.
Frances suffered horrifically at the hands of the Sisters: brutally beaten, worked like a slave, abused and molested, the convent regime stripped her of everything - education, innocence and childhood. But the hope of rescue or escape never left her.
Years later, Frances would face her demons in court, bringing to account those who so viciously stole her youth.
The Orphanage is her gripping, heart-breaking and inspiring story - the story of a child's spirit of survival.
