Only a generation or two ago, illegitimacy was one of the most shameful things that could happen in a family. This book tells secrets kept for entire lifetimes - long-silent voices from the workhouse, the Magdalene Laundry or the distant mother-and-baby home. Anonymous childhoods are recalled, spent in the care of Dr Barnardo or a Child Migration scheme halfway across the world.
