Say Sorry; This is a truly harrowing tale

This is a truly harrowing tale, written in the first person by a woman born out of wedlock to live her childhood as an orphan, abused, unloved. Ann Thompson was born in Christchurch in 1941 to a 16-year-old mother who placed her baby in a Catholic orphanage.
What follows is a sadly familiar tale of cruelty, neglect, torment and tears – all triggered by the abuse of nuns there to care for her.
