Description: A book that merges the classic misery memoir with a horrific true-life crime that has fascinated Ireland for over 30 years. Cynthia was just eight years old when she was sexually abused by her father and others. Shortly before her eleventh birthday she was made pregnant and, minutes after giving birth to the baby, Cynthia watched in horror as her mother killed it. A 15 year battle in courts resulted in her baby being formally idenified.
