I couldn't put this book down,and I cried through the whole last chapter. Based on the true story of orphanages in Canada which were turned into mental hospitals back in the 1960's, when it was found that nuns could make much more money tending to patients than to orphaned girls.This follows one girl's story. She was made to give up her baby when she was an unwed teenager,and follows her life in the orphanage,and the inhumane treatment the girls got when they were told they were mentally incompetant and made to live among the patients.
