The Carmel Sheehan Story - Jean Grainger

A complete trilogy in one book. Carmel Sheehan was raised by the Irish state, and always believed what she was told, that her unmarried mother abandoned her as a newborn. Forty years later, she is living life in rural Ireland in an unfulfilling marriage, and she has no reason to suspect that version of her past was untrue until she gets a Facebook message one day from a British doctor claiming to know her birth mother. Dr Sharif Khan tells her that her mother spent her life looking for her daughter but the powers of church and state, for some reason, made it impossible. In this gripping boxed set, Carmel and Sharif begin a journey of discovery that takes her back to a time long before she was born. The reality of her true story is both shocking and heartwarming, and Carmel learns that in order to go forward, she must first make peace with her past.
