It follows the challenges of Molly, a talented, but naïve teenager struggling to find her own path.Interspersed with humour and music, the harrowing subjugation and abuse of girls in a church-dominated society is clearly manifest in this story of sexual assault, resultant pregnancy and forced adoption. Significant others in Molly's life have their own stories interwoven with hers: a schoolfriend, the priest responsible for the assault, and the nun, her teacher and confidante, who leaves the convent no longer able to cope with the rampant hypocrisy and control.To 17-year-old Molly, whisked away to a hospital where priests' offspring are illegally adopted, everyone seems to have deserted her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 390\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.87 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 15, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46592967868613,"sku":"9780958728942","price":29.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/eooJVzSMHM9780958728942.webp?v=1785067618","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/prisoners-of-silence-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
