We discover a mother, incarcerated without due process for 42 years and a father who suffered loss and isolation. Love is forbidden. A promise to find truth and justice reveals that incarceration, dogma and indifference towards a vulnerable life, leads to the stunning realisation that a mother's death is cheap, untruthful and disrespectful. Can she ever return home? Is a father still invisible? Is a wife released from a lifetime of the agony of secrecy? Has a son's promise to a father been satisfied? The stories of four lives delivers joy, tears and discovery of what it is to be human, to be Irish. It is a story of Ireland and of a Magdalene Rose and many women like her. It is the ultimate journey home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frank Brehany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1838423117\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781838423117\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Frank Brehany Publishing Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/19\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.88d","brand":"Frank Brehany","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46962209784063,"sku":"9781838423117","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_58e075b3-31d7-48eb-aa77-02af7faf9058.jpg?v=1750649661","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-magdalene-rose-frank-brehany-9781838423117","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
