{"product_id":"prisoners-of-silence-patricia-mary-beaton-9780958728942","title":"Prisoners of Silence","description":"Set in 1950s Ballarat and Melbourne, this narrative is loosely based on characters and real events in the author's life. It follows the challenges of Molly, a talented, but naïve teenager struggling to find her own path.Interspersed with humour and music, the harrowing subjugation and abuse of girls in a church-dominated society is clearly manifest in this story of sexual assault, resultant pregnancy and forced adoption. Significant others in Molly's life have their own stories interwoven with hers: a schoolfriend, the priest responsible for the assault, and the nun, her teacher and confidante, who leaves the convent no longer able to cope with the rampant hypocrisy and control.To 17-year-old Molly, whisked away to a hospital where priests' offspring are illegally adopted, everyone seems to have deserted her.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patricia Mary Beaton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0958728941\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780958728942\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thorpe-Bowker Identifier Servicers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.87d","brand":"Patricia Mary Beaton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48435736215807,"sku":"9780958728942","price":16.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_799872b9-a4cc-48b3-bd5f-b540e979c1f5.jpg?v=1777152367","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/prisoners-of-silence-patricia-mary-beaton-9780958728942","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
