About this listen
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.

Amazing
I couldn’t wait to hear the next chapter. How Joanne turned out to be one of the most amazing and inspiring people (and mother) from the awful childhood she had, is just astonishing. God bless you Joa. Xx

Silent sister audio
I have only recently discovered audio books and I like the Cathy glass books but I came across this and thought I’d give it a listen to and I have not stopped listening to it.
I’ve only just finished it and hope she does another book look forward to the next

Listened to it all in three days....
...... the Audible version is just as gripping as I imagine the print format is.
This book is an honest and open account and not just skirting around the issues. Excellent.
