mistakenly bought this book instead of just downloading sample. Was pleasantly surprised! A story of faith friendship love and forgiveness in a true historical (not so long ago) setting. Maybe a little short if you are looking for factual details but then again long on heart matters and exposes some of the actual misguided righteous in recent history.
I really appreciated the book "The Magdalen Laundries", because of a personal connection to friend who went through similar circumstances, although in a different country. In Lisa Michelle Odgaard's book I felt that the charactes came a love to me, and I became emotionally involved with their story.
I was grateful for the research that was apparent from the "Author's Note". Thank you for the read.

PS I look forward to any further books from this talented writer.
An incredible read. Highly recommend it. Though at times tough to read, the ending makes it so worthwhile. Contrasts those who ran these evil institutions with those who know the One True God of the Universe and His Only Son Jesus Christ. Finished it with joy in my heart and a renewed desire to share the truth of Christ with those still mired in sacrament, ritual and false doctrine. God is not the author of misery or chaos. God loves you more than you could possibly ever imagine and proved it through Jesus. Amen.
