My Name Is Bridget: The Untold Story of Bridget Dolan and the Tuam Mothers and Baby Home (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780717180424)

In 1946, twenty-six-year-old Bridget Dolan walked up to the front door of the Tuam Mother and Baby Home. Alone and pregnant. Bridget gave birth to a boy, John, who died at the home less than two years later. Her second child was once again delivered into the care of the nuns and was taken from her. She would go on to marry a wonderful man and have a daughter Anna Corrigan, but it was only after Bridget's death that Anna discovered she had two brothers her mother had never spoken about. Anna became compelled to try and uncover any information she could about her baby brothers. What followed was the revelation that the remains of 796 babies were buried on the site of the Tuam Mother and Baby Home. Anna was left to wonder, were her brothers among them? Here, with Alison O'Reilly, she pieces together the mystery.
