Pregnant out of wedlock they are now outcasts from society.</p><p>Believing they will at least have each other the girls are devastated when Ailbe is dumped at the gates of a place known only as 'Bessborough' whilst Maire is forced to continue on to Dublin to be cared for by the relatives of her married lover.</p><p>What follows is an enduring tale of family love friendship secrecy self-sacrifice and the extraordinary endurance of women in the most appalling of circumstances.</p>
