Synopsis

Cynthia’s is a horrific story of brutality and loss, but ultimately, it is an account of love, immense bravery and her fight for justice in Noleen’s name. She was just eight years old when she was sexually abused by her father amongst others. Shortly before her eleventh birthday she was made pregnant and, minutes after giving birth to the baby, Cynthia watched in horror as her own mother murdered the tiny infant, named Noleen, by repeatedly stabbing her with a knitting needle. Cynthia’s mother then wrapped the baby girl in a plastic bag, dumped her in an alleyway and made her daughter go back to school and pretend nothing had ever happened.

Author's Biography

Cynthia Owen grew up in Ireland, went to the local convent school, said her prayers and took her first communion with all the other girls in her class. But behind the façade of respectability lurked a hideous reality. After enduring many more years of rape and violence, Cynthia came forward and reported her abuse and Noleen’s death.

fantastic book best i ever read, finished it in hours
Fantastic writing by the Co-Author Rachel Murphy. A mixture of horror, empathy and disbeleif that this happened in our society in the 60-70's. But undoubtedly a true account of abuse suffered by the victim.
Brilliant read and very memorable, could not put it down.
