The Swan Garden is the story about a young woman who survives life in both the Irish mother-baby homes and the Magdalene Laundries and keeps her secret about being locked away for a crime that was not hers.

For five years she survives the abuse, ridicule and shame, but upon her escape she buries her experiences telling no on, and holding those who know, to her confidence. Despite her loss, she builds a life finding happiness with a man who loves her and probably would have loved her still had she had the courage to tell him.

Though her daughters bring laughter and love, each day they unknowingly remind her of a past she has tried to forget. One day a chance call comes, but out of fear she can’t let her secret go. She keeps it hidden from those who need her most.
