Angela O’Rourke is six years old when her parents pass her over to the care of an aunt and uncle in a distant village. It’s a common practice for large, hard-up families in 1950’s Ireland, but for Angela it means only one thing: that her mother and father don’t love her any more.<\/p>\n
Angela is well cared for till she’s sixteen – but then her uncles takes to drink and it’s not safe for her to stay in his house. Travelling to Liverpool to train as a nurse, she moves on to fashion design, where everything is changing as the 1960’s progress. Soon she’s making her mark, but the pain of a disastrous love affair takes the edge of her success, and she heads home to Ireland.<\/p>\n
Sorting through papers, Angela makes an astonishing discovery. As she learns the truth about the past she is finally free of the old sorrow: and a brighter and happier new future beckons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":221,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[20],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1325","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-fiction-a","8":"first","9":"outofstock","10":"shipping-taxable","11":"purchasable","12":"product-type-variable"},"yoast_head":"\n
