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\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 342\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.88 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 19, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52694217425229,"sku":"9781838423117","price":56.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/3304\/7117\/files\/4JZyXxYmKo9781838423117.webp?v=1762060828","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.us\/products\/a-magdalene-rose-can-our-secrets-and-promises-ever-be-reconciled-hardcover","provider":"belfastbooks.us","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
