Sins of the Mothers by Dennis Carey
INSPIRED BY A TRUE STORYThey came together as strangers, from opposite ends of the world to the west of Ireland, both searching. Will what they find unite them forever?
When businessman Paul McDonnell travels from Australia in search of his birth mother, he enlists the help of an Irish author whom he has never met. Neither could have anticipated what they would discover.
A story of a family divided by the tragedy of unregulated adoptions in 1950's Ireland and the impenetrable secrecy of Irish Mother and Baby Homes that tried to keep them apart.
From flashback to the here and now, you'll be taken on a journey the like of which you'll not want to interrupt for a moment. John Griff - BC Radio.
A terrific read A great book should leave you with many experiences and almost exhausted. Sins of the Mothers fits into this category and is compelling reading from start to finish. Henry Wymbs - Author, presenter of BC's Irish Eye
