About the event
Celebrate the launch of a critical new book. Meet with the Author who for the last 14 years has been on a quest across Ireland to discover a long-held family secret, leading to the question: Can our secrets and promises ever be reconciled?
As the Author embarked on his journey, he found the story of four remarkable people, each affected by the cruelty of Ireland's Scaradh Magdalene.
Discover the joys and the horrors within his journey, satisfying a promise long-since made to deliver a recognition and a justice to its victims; it is about the ultimate journey home; it is a story about so many families across Ireland and the diaspora scattered across the globe. It brings into sharp focus many of the victims and survivors of this cruelty, even in South Wales.
