About
Born out of wedlock in Dublin in 1937, Pyllis grew up in a brutal, church-run orphanage. She thought by fulfilliing her dreams to become a nurse in England, her life might change for the better. But her loveless childhood predisposed her to a loveless marriage. Her feelings of being worthless, instilled by the orphanae, perpetuated a series of poor choices and things spiralled out of control for her - and, shockingly, for her daughter, Sally. As her mother's health deteriorated, Sally began looking for answers to why it seemed inevitable that their lives would go so spectacularly wrong. She asked questions about the true identity of her mother: Who was she? Why was she abandoned? Sally needed to find answers before it was too late. After a mission that lasted nearly a decade, searching archives and contacting countless organizations and anyone who would listen, Sally finally uncovered the truth and opened the door to a world so many of us take for granted.
