Publisher Description
'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.

What a book
This book was such an interesting read I just could not put it down. It really shows and makes you see that there is evil in even the meant to be safest people and places. To the author Frances, you are one of the most powerful women to be telling your story and I really hope the best for you, because you spoke up BE PROUD....
Suffer The Little Children
A poignant and powerful book. Thanks for surviving Frances and sharing your life knowledge.
Suffer the little children
I read this in one sitting and finished it with a lump in my throat .
What these sadistic and twisted individuals did to defenseless children needs to be punished by jail time.
A great book,though heart-rending to read.
To all the victims of such cruel treatment,may you get the justice you deserve.
