Description

A deadly secret. A horrifying discovery. For over 20 years, Joanne Lee's
mother kept the remains of not one, but three newborn babies hidden in a
bin in her wardrobe.She had buried a fourth baby in newspaper and ragsin St
Helens Cemetery.For the first time since exposing her mother's crimes,
Joanne breaks her silence over her family's horrific ordeal and her fight
for justice for the siblings she never knew. Growing up in chaotic
circumstances on Merseyside, Joanne suffered at the hands of a violent
boyfriend and controlling relatives, as her mother lapsed into a downward
spiral of drinking and casual sex following the break-up of her marriage.
But the consequences of her mother's messy lifestyle turned out to be far
worse than Joanne could ever have imagined. She already knew of the baby
buried in a shallow makeshift grave next to the family plot. But when
Joanne came across a red plastic bin in her mother's wardrobe in 2009, she
realised that the family home held an even more sinister secret. In Silent
Sisters, the daughter who was falsely accused of murdering her own baby
sister will tell her full story for the first time, detailing her struggle
to understand her mother, to piece together the truth and to give the four
babies the proper burial they deserve.
