    About this ebook

    Growing up in small village meant that no one could keep a secret. When a young Irish girl arrives in Stoke-on-Trent, heavily pregnant and with nowhere to go, what will happen to the baby?

    Knowing that you are adopted is one thing, but to know your natural mother is living in the same village is quite another.

    This is a true story of how an adopted child overcomes prejudice and ignorance to learn her true story.
