A horrific story about girls being sent away to The Sisters of the Holy Redemption due to being unwed mothers, being involved in prostitution, or in Teagan Turnan's case, being beautiful. This historical fiction takes place in Dublin, Ireland in the early 1960's.Teagan who met a VERY handsome priest at a party finds herself being sent away because of his lust for her. She was stripped of everything she knew and had, even her name, and was to have no contact with anyone from the outside world.
The Mother Superior who claims to punish in the name of love has a nasty little secret of her own. It shows in her unwavering contempt towards Teagan.
Teagan befriends a hot spirited fiery girl, Nora, whose plan was to escape the moment she set foot in the Magdalen Laundries and Lea, who has been there for some time. The three girls band together to plan an escape.
The Magdalen Girls is a sinfully delightful story about friendships, hope, forgiveness, and courage.
