Don't ever tell

"At the age of eight, Kathy O'Beirne was diagnosed as a ̀troubled child' and removed from her home. She then spent nearly 14 years under the Magdalen laundry regime. During the first two years, she was sexually abused and beaten. After attempting to rebel against the system, she was classified as mentally ill and transferred to a psychiatric hospital, where the abuse continued with the addition of regular electric shock treatments. At 13, back in another Magdalen laundry, Kathy was raped and became pregnant. Poorly from birth, her baby, Kelly Anne, spent the rest of her short life in a home run by nuns and when she died she was interred in a mass grave. Kathy still doesn't know where her baby is buried. The author recounts her tragic experiences in unflinching detail, stirring up many extreme emotions along the way. Her undeniable strength of character, which has enabled her to survive such horrific events and fired her subsequent fight for justice, will inspire and impassion many." --Publisher's description.
