THE NO.1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

From the crowded working-class streets of 1960s Dublin, comes the powerful and inspiring true story of three young sisters who - after years of abuse and trauma - overcame their fears and together, fought for the justice they deserved.

Joyce, June and Paula Kavanagh were born to a family of ten in Ballyfermot, Dublin. Sharing a cramped room, they dreaded hearing the noise of their father approaching and grew up in fear, trapped in a house that should have been a home.

But when a fateful phone call from their cousin prompts the unravelling of their father's iron grip on his family, the sisters glimpse an opportunity to not only escape, but seek redemption. Can they come together to finally confront their past and put an end to their father's tortuous control?
