Wild Was The Way - An Irish Orphan Memoir

About the Book

This is the poignant and gripping true story of an Irish orphan. It begins in an old Irish tenement that was full of the sighs and whisperings of ghosts, and ends in the spiritual and unending revelation of life’s most precious gift. Upon the death of her mother, Sheila is sent to a medieval style orphanage whose nuns consider the orphans their punishment from God. After eight years of non-stop praying, scrubbing and cleaning, she is turned out into a frightening world with only her temper to buoy up her empty heart. The nuns smiled their good-byes, no doubt feeling they released a benign and pious creature into the world at large, but hers was a warring, rebellious heart.
