- Summary:
-
Within her pain and loneliness, Nancy found the passion, humour and courage to speak out against the bureaucrats who wrenched her from her mother aged 13 months. This unique book starkly contrasts Nancy's story with that of those bureaucrats, holding them accountable. 'It must never happen again', she said. But it does. Are we ready to listen, to bear witness?
