Memoirs The Lost Child of Philomena Lee A Mother, Her Son and a Fifty-year Search Martin Sixsmith
'The Lost Child of Philomena Lee' is the story of a mother and son, whose lives were blighted by the forces of hypocrisy on both sides of the Atlantic and of the secrets they were forced to keep. A compelling narrative of love and loss, Martin Sixsmith's moving account is both heartbreaking yet ultimately redemptive.
