DESCRIPTION

A shocking true story of surviving the care home from hell
Marie Hargreaves tells the story of how, as a child, she is taken away from a poor but happy and loving home life to live in a convent, away from everyone and everything she holds dear. Her hair is bluntly chopped, her clothes are taken away, and her name is changed. Then a horrific ritual of physical, sexual and mental abuse begins.

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

When a fancy car pulls up outside six-year-old Marie's home in Oldham, in 1959, she is told she is going on holiday.

In fact, she is taken to live in a convent, overseen by a cruel and sadistic nun.

There, a horrific ritual of physical, sexual and mental abuse begins.

Marie feels unable to share details of her suffering with anyone. Until years later, when a police investigation is launched, and she realises that the time has finally come to tell the truth.
