A newborn baby is washed ashore by the tide—stabbed to death. At the same time, 50 miles away, a young single woman who is involved with a married man, gives birth to a stillborn baby and secretly hides the tiny body on her family’s farm. A connection is made—wrongly—between the two babies. After an intimidating police investigation, the young mother, confused and scared, confesses to a crime she did not commit and is charged with murder...and her family is charged as accessories to the crime. The case quickly sparks national outrage. At a time of much social discord and change, and with the emergence of Ireland’s first women’s movement, she finds herself as the reluctant central figure in a stubborn war against the government—and must prove her innocence.
