Silent Sisters

A True Story

By: Joanne Lee, Ann Cusack, Joe Cusack

Narrated by: Melanie Crawley

For over 20 years, Joanne Lee's mother kept the remains of three newborn babies hidden in her wardrobe. For the first time since exposing her mother's crimes, Joanne breaks her silence over her family's horrific ordeal.

Growing up, Joanne suffered at the hands of a violent boyfriend and controlling relatives, as her mother lapsed into a downward spiral following the breakup of her marriage. But the consequences of her mother's lifestyle turned out to be worse than Joanne could ever have imagined. She already knew about 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, Joanne will tell her story, detailing her struggle to understand her mother, to piece together the truth and give the four babies the proper burial they deserve.

The narration was wonderful!

This is a sad and almost unbelievable story. I was unable to put it down!

The story is heart wrenching. I can’t imagine what they went through! It is a pure miracle that they all survived.

Good read

Loved it! It has some gruesome details but life is sometimes gruesome. Found it inspiring.

grace under fire

I really marveled how the author was able to feel gratitude at certain times in her life. The humble thanks she gave for the times in her life, which really went beyond expectations, was astounding. This is a passionate and compassionate person who didn't let the bad things that happened define her.
