Philomena : a mother, her son and a fifty-year search / Martin Sixsmith ; [with a foreword by Dame Judi Dench].
As a teenager in Ireland in 1952, Philomena Lee fell pregnant and was sent to a convent -- a "fallen woman." For three years after her son was born she cared for him there. Then the Church took him away and sold him, like countless others, for adoption in America. This is the story of Philomena and her search for the son she never stopped loving.
