A feminist novel about the true story of the thousands of young Irish girls locked away in the Magdalene convents to atone for their supposed sins.

"They claimed it was the only way to drive out the Devil that had taken hold of us."
This is the story of Deirdre, of Sinead, of the thousands of young Irish women locked away behind convent walls. It is the story of women condemned simply for having had the misfortune of being preyed upon by men. It is the story of a young man who listens and comes to realize that he carries the same violence within himself. It is the story of light amidst suffering.
