Can lives lived reveal their secrets and promises when they are part of Ireland’s Scaradh Magdalene?
This is the remarkable true story flowing from the birth of a child, his marriage, and a wife who became the guardian of his secrets. We discover a mother, incarcerated without due process for 42 years, and a father who suffered loss and isolation. Love is forbidden.
A promise to find truth and justice reveals that incarceration, dogma, and indifference towards a vulnerable life, leads to the stunning realisation that a mother’s death is cheap, untruthful, and disrespectful.
Can she ever return home? Is a father still invisible? Is a wife released from a lifetime of the agony of secrecy? Has a son’s promise to a father been satisfied? The stories of four lives delivers joy, tears, and discovery of what it is to be human, to be Irish. It is a story of Ireland and of a Magdalene Rose and many women like her. It is the ultimate journey home.
