Amy Bland was fifteen when her father learned she was pregnant. Instead of helping his daughter, he took her to home for unwed mothers in Edinburg, Scotland and signed papers for the child to be put up for adoption - then vanished out of her life forever. While at the convent, she was whipped, forced to work against her will, sexually attacked, and worst of all: the son she so dearly loved, was taken away. This is a story about an escape that nearly cost her life, a journey back to her son's father - the man that thought she had abandoned him, and a lifetime of searching for her son.
