About this audiobook
The heartbreaking yet inspiring account of a young girl who suffered at the hands of nuns in the Nazareth House Convent in Northern Ireland.
Frances Reilly and her sisters were abandoned by their mother outside Nazareth House Convent—a Belfast orphanage run by nuns. Little did they know the unimaginable cruelty they'd endure within its walls.
Frances suffered horrifically at the hands of the Sisters: brutally beaten, worked like a slave, abused and molested, the convent regime stripped her of everything—education, innocence, and childhood. But the hope of rescue or escape never left her.
Years later, Frances would face her demons in court, bringing to account those who so viciously stole her youth. Suffer the Little Children is a gripping and moving story of one child's spirit of survival.
Contains mature themes.

Sorrow for these young ladies...Being born and raised Catholic, I knew that nuns were strict and harsh, as my own grandmother imparted her harsh treatment from nuns in a convent. Such scars are there for a lifetime. Hoping that nuns are not doing their duties as they have in the past.This practice is in direct conflict with the teachings of Jesus Christ.
