About this audiobook
Discovering gut-wrenching family secrets isn’t easy.
Secrets... kept out of shame, or in the name of love, can tear a world apart. Young Agnes was a survivor.
She somehow withstood the absence of a father, the loss of her little brother, and the rape at seventeen which left her pregnant. Against all odds, she found true love and married her sweetheart.
Then the unthinkable happened! Agnes in Bloom is a gritty, true-life, kitchen-sink drama, of a young mother’s struggle to overcome loss, tragedy, and harsh poverty.
Trapped by society’s expectations of a single mother in 1960s England, she must find the courage to carry on and find happiness in a world that seems so determined to crush her.
Follow her desperate fight to keep her eight children away from the grips of child services
Simultaneously tragic and hopeful. A riveting, romantic, and ultimately uplifting story about love over loss and the choices we make when confronted by the unimaginable
HERSTORY should never be forgotten
