Ninemile House

Overview: Successful journalist, Derry Quinn, is shocked to discover the sister she believed to be dead for thirty years is actually alive and living in one of Ireland's notorious mother and baby Magdalene Homes. Determined to right the wrongs done to her, Derry takes her sister to live with her, little realising the consequences such action will have on her entire family.

Ninemile House was inspired by an encounter the author had with the sister of a 'survivor' of the Magdalene Homes, who, like Derry, found she had a sister of whom she knew nothing, who had been incarcerated for many, many years in one of these awful institutions.
