Her baby daughter is adopted. Ivy will never leave. Sixty years later, journalist Samantha stumbles upon a series of letters from Ivy to her lover, pleading with him to rescue her from St Margaret's before it is too late. As Sam pieces together Ivy's tragic story, terrible secrets about St Margaret's dark past begin to emerge. What happened to Ivy, to her baby, and to the hundreds of children born in the home? What links a number of mysterious, sudden deaths in the area? And why are those who once worked at St Margaret's so keen that the truth should never be told? As Sam unpicks the sinister web of lies surrounding St Margaret's, she also looks deep within - to confront some unwelcome truths of her own. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 650 0 $a Unmarried mothers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Adoption $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Journalists $v Fiction. 650 6 $a MeÌres ceÌlibataires $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Adoption $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Journalistes $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 7 $a Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945) $2 bicssc 650 7 $a Crime & mystery. $2 bicssc 650 7 $a FICTION / Mystery & Detective / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Women. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Adoption. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00797076 650 7 $a Journalists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00984188 650 7 $a Unmarried mothers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01162002 655 7 $a novels. $2 aat $0 (CStmoGRI)aatgf300202580 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726581 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a Mystery fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000475 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l BWPD851 $d 20230615181803.0 $m BWPD851 $n 10 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D6E706E4F67011ED8423B677123FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
