A True Story

De: Joanne Lee, Ann Cusack, Joe Cusack

Narrado por: Melanie Crawley

For over 20 years, Joanne Lee's mother kept the remains of three newborn babies hidden in her wardrobe. For the first time since exposing her mother's crimes, Joanne breaks her silence over her family's horrific ordeal.

Growing up, Joanne suffered at the hands of a violent boyfriend and controlling relatives, as her mother lapsed into a downward spiral following the breakup of her marriage. But the consequences of her mother's lifestyle turned out to be worse than Joanne could ever have imagined. She already knew about the baby buried in a shallow makeshift grave next to the family plot. But when Joanne came across a red plastic bin in her mother's wardrobe in 2009, she realised that the family home held an even more sinister secret. In Silent Sisters, Joanne will tell her story, detailing her struggle to understand her mother, to piece together the truth and give the four babies the proper burial they deserve.

So Well Written and Performed!

A shocking but brilliantly told story! This book is so well written! Each character is well developed and comes to life as if you're listening to them tell their story. The performance was excellent! I'm glad I did not have a Nana Pat!! Or a Mother Bernadette!

Interesting and a bit creepy.

I liked it a lot. loved the narration mostly, as the accents really made me see the characters.

painful and promising

difficult to read, yet full of hope and promise. A story about the depth of loss and strength of love despite conflict.

staying strong

Loved it! It was nice to see that through everything she went through she came out and shined her light on others.

Good book but not a suspense

The book was good, I’m just more of a suspense type of reader and this one was just a story.. but it was good

Twists and turns - great read!

Family secrets are toxic! This book explains it well but even more so how to overcome, be the bigger person, survive! Miscarriages are one of the biggest emotional challenges for a mom, this book highlights this struggle with grace. Great read!

Riveting.

I couldn’t put it down/turn it off! Excellent narration and writing. Like a bad car accident, I couldn’t turn away from the carnage, and I felt like she was sitting next to me, telling me her story the whole time.

Wonderful!

Thank you for sharing your family's story! I hope that you were able to find your peace. ❤

Glad I read this

Loved it
